Ceika custom coilovers

[erikerikerik]

So, wanting to not have kona / H&R, because well everyone else has them I went with something else.

Type 1M Coilover Kit (Set of 4)
Front spring rate (kg/mm): 7
Rear spring rate (kg/mm): 7
Valving Type / Ride Feel: Fast road / Lowering
Front top plates: Camber + Caster
Rear top plates: Alloy with rubber bush
Dual springs / Helper springs
Car Brand: bmw
Car Model: 318ti
Year: 1995
Comments: Would it be possible to have the main body black, with the adjustment rings and springs red? Its going on a red car and as stock looking as possible is ideal.


I ordered them up over a month ago. Turn around time took a wee'bit longer than i expected, like 2 weeks longer.

So, they finally showed up.





So.. Blue instead of Red, No front helper springs and defiantly not Camber + Caster.
And, oh yeah I think I was sent a normal e36 kit...not e30/Z3/Ti kit.

The ends of the springs are not finished. To flatten the spring it was around down by hand.

An uncompressed helper spring is aroune 1* off tilt not, flat.

any'who... anyone know how to take apart coilovers so I can put these on?

How much did those run you?

Also why didn't you check out GAZ coilovers? Probably same price range and good quality:

Erik, did you get your replacement coilovers? While I am busy as of late, I'll pause and help you get yours in. Did we talk about front reinforcement plates?

Anyway, let me know. Cheers!

Wow, why did I never get any updates from this thread?
The company refused to work with me to return these So I started a charge back process. And so far so good.
