I don't understand
 
How can something be manufactured so cheaply? Seriously, coilovers for $15 ...

They dont actually pay $40 for shipping so that another $30 for them.
Probubly made in such insane bulk that there universal for all vehicals. Although Now that I think about it it shouldn;t be too hard to make a spring. Just bending some steel and painting it. If you have the right machines I dont see why a kid cant make it in his basement or something as long as its not to support a family and everything is pure profit.

Dont expect a quality r&d ed product though

Yea I'm sure the shipping's where it's at for them, did you see that shipping insrance is required too? I don't even wanna think about how cheap quality those are, nor do I wanna think about how many of those they actually SELL!!! Poor people ...

Roddimus Prime September-27th-2005 07:58 PM

exactly...overpriced shipping rates and generic pieces that are not car specific and have NO R&D on them.

I could produce stuff just as cheap but I don't want people to die.

I would at least understand if they advertised them as show springs, so you just pop them on to drop the hell out of your ride if you just wanna show off, but to advertise them as "high quality" giving people the idea they can drive on them is just pure evil!

Ugh, I've seen those things before. Scary.
No way I'd try them on my car.

Matty Mooling September-28th-2005 01:12 PM

Roddimus Prime September-28th-2005 01:21 PM

I thought about buying a set and using them as extra support for the scooter.

P5ChemDood September-28th-2005 03:06 PM
