DD 40 Step Coilover Shock Suspension Toyota Starlet EP82 EP91 89-99

[rockrees]

Has anyone here had experience with these cheap coilovers?
Worth the buy, or not worth touching?

Not had coilovers yet, so don't know what to look for, but I need something for road use. (Not too harsh, as it's my daily, but harsh enough for occasional track use.)

My current suspension with 40mm lowering springs is horrible and rolls like no tomorrow. Back almost touches the floor when accelerating.

not had any experience with them, but they look a good quality coilover

dont see why anyone wouldnt buy them

and as regards to cheap, they are only £50 cheaper than what i paid for my brand new meisters before they hiked the price up when they became so popular

i'd say you'd be better off buying a well known brand set from a dealer on here. The import duties will soon bump that price up anyway

Got more details on this? Is it better than a decent spring and shock combo? I need less lift on boost and less roll in the corners

Sweet thanks everyone

The golf coilovers are clever, but I don't have the time or tools so i'll probably stick with a straight bolt on.

What other coilovers would you guys suggest instead so I have two choices.

At the moment I'm close to just buying the DD ones off of ebay and crossing my fingers, but I know cheap doesn't always mean cheerful.

They look identical to the ones cj ran a group buy on ages ago I had a set of those and thought they were pretty good to be fair and I know a fair few people ran them too

[rockrees]

Sweet thanks, as soon as pay day has passed i'll try them out.

Your better off buying some second hand teins or d2 coilovers bud as coilovers have a 4.5% import duty plus 20% tax, which would amount to £110.96 to be paid to customs bud
