    hi guys i am looking to purchase GodSpeed Coilovers for R52 convertible S

    any feedbacks???? i know they are the cheapest ones out there so i am not looking for Ohlin quality.

    also do they actually come with the camber top hats and sway bar end links like in the pictures ????
    for $630usd and free shipping, what is there to loose ?
    any help would be great !!

    Cheap parts equal cheap quality. You will get what you pay for.

    Save and buy quality parts once, or buy them after you waste $350.00 plus adjustable end links and labor.

    The way i look at it is if you can get it for less than the cost of stock dampers and it has more features/Adjustablity than stock its likely not something you want.
    They make tens of thousands of the stock damper and probably a thousand of these.
    Suspension like brakes is something i never reccomend anyone try to be thrifty on.

    So the thread you titled a "review" was a request for feedback?!
    Guess thread titles are like click-bait....
    Hey mods....care to adjust the thread title?! Thanks.

    I am sure they make a difference. But will they last? If you compared them to higher quality ones then how do they compare? What kind of experience do the people have that are using them (track time, autoX, drift)? And lastly do they know how to set them up? All things to keep in mind when reading a review.

    I am not downing anyones opinion its just I am OLD and have found the good stuff is never cheep.
