vtec2011 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 so whats the deal with the sleeves? What you mean? What are the cons of using sleeves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerofdreams Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Sleeves can cause a bouncy ride depending how low you have set and more than likely blow the shocks. If you're going to use coilover sleeves, the best thing to do is use aftermarket shocks / dampers / struts (whatever you want to call them) Another thing, the coils which comes with the sleeves are very short which is the main reason why it destroys the shocks. That is why I will be using EG lowering springs on sleeves because they're longer and a lot stiffer That's the theory anyway. I just hope the EG lowering springs fit flush on the sleeves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerofdreams Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 so in the long run ud b better with actual coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Umm... yeah you're probably better off spending a few extra £££ coilovers. But because I cannot afford coilovers at the moment, I decided to go for lowering springs for cheap option. But obviously it's been nothing but a complete c0ck up for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 40quid or a grand ^^^+ we need a guinea pig to find a nice set up for us with out spending that money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 haha yer that's true. Cost me 40 quid for the EG 40mm Cobra springs, 40 quid for the sh!tty sleeves and 20 quid for the rear standard EG springs. So it's costing me £100 for used parts which are not quite working for me yet. I could of just bought myself 40mm lowering springs which are specially made for a MB for £120 brand new!
