Hyperion Coilover
 
The Hyperion coilover on the homepage of hs...for 119 bucks is it worth it?? Coilovers are the one we can adjust the ride heights right??

ditto. Though you should buy stuff off the front page if you can ;)


Anyway, yes, a coilover sleeve like that will allow you to adjust your height and blow your stock struts :)

What brand do you guys recommend?

If you want coilover sleeves... ground control. You'll need a set of nice struts like Koni yellow though.... total = ~$900 shipped

True coilovers - ~$900+. I'd go with these. Tein, Tanabe, etc.

holy shibble...Whats the diff between the ground control and the "true coilover".

i got the koni yellow/gc combo and i have yet to see better handling and ride comfort. i'd say the car behaves as a beemer :yes: :bow: but it takes a while to adjust the shocks to that right setting

Have you been in many cars with true coilovers? I've been researching a lot, and this seems to be the way to go. For around the same price for the lower end ones.

accord98lx, true coilovers are a spring/strut combo, where sleeves will require you to buy aftermarket struts to pair up with them.

i worded that wrong.

pdiggitydogg 12-27-2002 03:13 PM

true coilovers (WHAT I HAVE!!) have the height adjustablility threads on the shock itself so there isnt any bouncing of the springs like w/ the combo

Oh and if anyone is wondering...mine still arent put on yet...:paranoid: theyre in the box in a corner of my room...but I plan on putting them on next week!
