found that on ebay.. anyone have any experience? good deal or should i just ignore what appears to be a good deal on ebay.

i have never heard the brand which makes me wonder.

 

Don't know but this is what the guys on the Evo forums had to say about it:

Fixed link sorry

 

$600 coilovers seems a bit low, considering my Koni Shocks cost that much...

 

nex is just some generic **** like megan racing IMO. i wouldnt bother w/ either companies

 

good points guys. although i have heard some good stuff about megan. i figured worth looking at the nex, but i think i am gonna try and be patient enough to save up for the whitelines, or atleast the Helix DNA's...

does anyone here have the helix DNA coilovers? Pro's Con's?

 

id go for the DNAs, save the extra hundred bucks. im sure youll be satisfied. im sure someone will chime in about the DNAs, but i havent heard anything bad about them yet.

I like the Megan Coilovers... once I had them set up right they were pretty nice.

 

yeah so far i am gonna aim for the DNA's cause i like Helix, and i like the purple.

 

if you want decent cheap coil overs get the Helix DNAs.

You can also buy a coil over conversion kit for your stock struts from ground control.

 

eh, 1000 bucks isnt a bad deal through gruppe-s for the helix.. i will just go with those i think until i need something better.. but at that point i might as well build a track only car for a suspension like that.

 

Folks everyone uses "generic" offshore manufacturers, it's just so much cheaper and they sometimes make better quality than American machine shops

As with all ebay no-name crap it is encouraged to try to research the opinions posted by the volunteers who bought them and posted reviews.

 

if somethings cheap.....remember, theres a reason its cheap

 

im sure the quality of the external parts are up to par. i would be worried about the internal valving and what not though. i would think that mostpoeple buy these coilovers just for the drop, with no care for handling whatsoever. i mean hell, how many cars do u see getting flogged around a race track/auto-x course w/ NEX coilovers. i say invest your money in some ground controls and shocks, and steer away from these coils

 

dude wtf?!!! those guys dont even drive the real evo! theyre all lancer rally OZ owners or ES owners. those things r POS's! i mean seriously. do u see any REAL evo owners rocking nex coilovers on their cars? i hope not... :rotfl:

 

IMHO, for $1000 you can get a lot better setup than that and still not lose money later by allowing you to continue moding it further.

Using a Koni Yellow/Ground Control coil sleeve for ~ $1000 is a great combination because Konis not only have a lifetime warranty on their shocks, but they're very good shocks. Also, with the Ground Control coil sleeves, you can get any spring rate you want, which may take more research than just going out and buying a coilover, but is worth it in the end for no extra cost.

The reason why I say you won't lose money later is because you can keep tweaking this setup by revalving your shocks if you want more dampening, adding pillowball top hats, changing spring rates (iirc ground control springs are only $75 a pair) or any other tweaks you may want without having to change the entire system.

I know my setup rides a thousand times better than the JIC FLT-A2s but at the cost of some handling performance. Though, I didn't spend as much time as I should have researching the spring rates so I have more understeer than I wanted. This is probably one of the cheapest ways to have this much adjustability compaired to a coilover system and it allows you to upgrade at your own pace without having to dump over a grand at one time.

I'm sure this setup will outperform any NEX setup that's available and outlast it by far.
