Question Cx racing vs godspeeed coilovers

I'm about to purchase me a pair of coilovers for my 02 lexus is300... I came across two brands that are the cheapest I can find... I've seen people giving out good reviews on the CX Racing coilovers, but I haven't come across any for the GODSPEED Ones... Has anyone actually installed these? What's the ride quality?

CX RACING - $616.55
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160626047345...84.m1438.l2648

Godspeed - $629
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GODSPEED-01-...5c5309&vxp=mtr
--------------------------------
PS... Do I need coilovers to actually get camber? Or is there another way?

Ehhh..honestly I'd save a few hundred more bones and pick up BC Racing coilovers from FIGs Engineering. Just to be safe! And anytime you lower a vehicle it creates negative camber. If you need more negative camber you could pick up a camber kit. I know THMotorsports use to have one for pretty cheap.

These are not bad coilover choices. "Ehhh" nothing. Your just unfamiliar with the product.

Im interested in which are better also. I know the CX racing have a good spring rate for going low.

Well..I never said anything about them being bad. Also, I'm not bias either being that I don't have BC Racing or CX racing, I have KW Variants. I'm just using what I've read on forums. Actually, the CX coilovers and BC coilovers are made in the same factory I believe, but use different materials. But since it's between CX and Godspeed, I'd go with CX. Just my 2 cents like everyone else's.

see that's the problem. you're just going by what everyone else said. All it becomes is hearsay. Unless you have used both and can give a clear difference then you're not really helping him

I've had Godspeed before and they leaked after 10k. I can't say the same for Cx but you get what you pay for when you buy suspension.

That link is for the new cxracing statick coilovers? Not the ones that are black/blue, black/red. And the price has changed. I'm in market for coils. I've heard good things about the cxracing, But that was not the statick ones.

what does this have to do with anything?

thats like saying you wont buy something based on reviews. people have used them on the forums, written reviews, and hes gone with what people have said throughout the forums.
