how do you mean? Are you asking if they are quality products, like well made, good powder coating, etc? or are you asking how well they work with/on an RD2 tib?

if you want height adjustability, buy REAL COILOVERS. i haven't heard much about them (arospeeds), but all coil-over-strut only cover height adjustment, where as real coilovers you can adjust height, damping, and if you pay extra for adjustable mounts, caster and camber also.

Keep in mind that is also recomended to get an alignment EVERY TIME RIDE HEIGHT / CENTER OF GRAVITY is changed.

i have the arospeed coilovers but the 97-01 coilovers didnt fit so they just put the springs on and it lowered like 2inches. They ride good, i still need to get a cambre kit(spelled wrong, i think). Alot of things havent fit my car lately like the kspec front strut bar. Thats another story. smile.gif

. maybe take a picture (and make a new thread if needed)... i recently purchased mine through kspec and it fit perfectly. didn't even have to relocate the knock-reference sensor.

on a somewhat similar note to the topic of this thread...isn't it Aerospeed? or is Arospeed a completely different company? or am i an idiot?? :?:

i put mine down that the front tires had just enough room to turn and if i hit a bounce on a turn i would hit the fender....i was going to put the back down farther where it would have tucked the tire a lil bit on my 17's but then i removed the coilovers so i didn't have to worry bout smashing my kit
