Auction says they are new and description says they have never been installed.


You could install them and not lower the car. They don't force the car to be lower. Easy enough to keep the stock ride height with them if you need to.

I've installed coilovers before and I understand how coilovers work lol. I just didn't see the point.

At this point, I don't know how much longer I'll be keeping the car and a $2000 car with $1000 suspension is still a $2000 car. I'd just be throwing the money away.

Why did you never install them?

I moved downtown and now I live in the middle of a brick deathtrap. That and the entrance and exit to my building are extremely steep. Its a change of about 16" in height over a distance of about 2.5' so it would be impossible for me to get in and out if I was even .5" lower. I didn't really see the point in installing them if I am already smashing my subframe daily.

It's a shame really. I was looking forward to having them on the car.
