Okay so i have a basic about Godspeed Coilovers. Does anyone on here own them? lol. I have searched and searched but it seems like no one does.

Is there a reason why you guys dont own them? Perhaps they are no good? Or do all of you just prefer the big name brands?

The reason i am asking is i have a friend whos friends with someone who said they can get me a set of Godspeed Hyper RS coilovers at a very very very very cheap price. However if the ride is no good on them and they really dont drop the car enough i think i will pass. I also tend to like to be a little different and it seems like not alot of ppl use these so its be kinda cool to be different in this category.

So if any of you have them i would appreciate your input. Also if you know how low you can go on them or even if you have pics it will be great.

 

I think you'll find that a lot of people tell you good enough things about Godspeed, BC, Stance, etc...but the QC on these products aren't as extensive as the big names. It can't be.

 

dude i will just settle with STance, cusco, kw variant, hks, greddy, bliestein, H&R; such big name brand for suspension,, just forget about third party knock off even if they are sooo cheap. like how cheap?? $750? $800? $600???? i will just spend 300-400 more and buy good rep brand

 

^^^Like he said how cheap? imo it makes more sense putting the $ towards proven brands. What about when they need a rebuild? Suspension is one of those things you dont cheap out on

 

Why do you guys do ^^^? Can't you just do (VVV) or something?

 

I almost thought about buying these. I read somewhere that the welds are super weak. Some guy on the silvia forums said it cracked on him while running on the canyons. It looks like megan, but I don't know. they are very cheap though. They say it would drop you 2.5 in. Some silvia guys run them. You should check on there forum.

 

Whats the difference between ^^^ and (VVV). And what is (VVV) by the way? I hate when ppl keep quoting pics and the pic is one or two post's above so thats why i do it

 

it's unusual that you'd put stance with the rest of those, lol

 

I've seen those coils on Craigslist for $500. I'd be scared.

 

cheap as in like about 300 bucks for the set.

its all good tho guys thanks for your input but no matter how cheap the price is i did alot of review and i think imma stick to something like either stance, megan, or tein. its gonna take me a little longer to save but what the heck as least its something i know will be good.

thanks once again =]

 

I would advise against all of those BC is rated much higher and is close to the price of those

 

just for your info, godspeed is actually made by megan

 

and i actually did own a set of godspeeds on the Z, had them for 20k and i do alot of mountain/street drifting[and yes go ahead and hate] but went throughout all those miles and no problem, but i didn't get to track them so i don't know how well it would be for the track.

 

thank you for your input -] i still am gonna do some more researching of course.

i just learned something new. never really heard much bout godspeed so i never knew that. thanks.

ur lame. u street drift. jkjkjk. thanks man, i was honestly waiting to hear from someone who had experience with the coils so i appreciate it.

 

There are alot of people up in nor cal that run these on their 240's. Some Pro am people too. My friend has been on the hyper RS for over a year and a half now. He has also been on the track about 10 times with them. They are holding up well. I know they are made by the same manufacturer that makes megan, BC, stance.

Edit just saw the link.

 

Those are D2 coilovers and they are not for a Z. Just like Tein Superdrifts. They fail all the time. They just go unnoticed. Ask any person who tracks superdrifts.

 

What was this guys doing? Rally, dirt oval, gravel...
