Strength:

None! Perches comes loose even when tightened properly!

Weakness:

Poor ride. I used these for about a 3 weeks and I couldnt stand it! It's like being on a boat ride. See-Saw... Up and down...

Bumpy ride.. I hated the bouncing... No stiffness at all... Ractive coilovers are much better than WeaponR's!

Similar Products Used:

I had enough so I bought myself Ractive Coilovers and they work great! One of the guys I know has skunk2's on his 1.6EL and he sold them to another friend and got Ractive ones and he says they are the same as the skunk2's.. Not a lot of bouncing.. Just lets your car sit tight on the ground.

Model Reviewed: used on a civic

Strength:

not much. price is ok for a very entry level coilover.

Weakness:

bounced all over the place because of stock shocks. DO NOT use with stock civic shocks. That may have been a very large part of my problem. i would have gotten shocks if i hadn't sold my civic.

Would never buy a weapon r product again personally. will probably not go coilovers on my new prelude either. well maybe ground controls, but i dont want that harsh of a spring rate.
When i sold my car i didn't even bother to take them off.

Want a smooth ridE? get the weapon R coilovers.. They handle good. and the ride is not too bouncy. Installed with Kyb shocks/struts make a good combo. Depending on your car, i surely recommend Weapon R coilovers for most Hondas and Acuras.. Maybe for the heavy cars like the diamond stars, they cant perform. Good things dont make bad things better... hahah. The weapon R are on my 99 prelude sh... heavy car also.. but i havent noticed anything wrong with them.

Model Reviewed: 97 Eagle Talon TSi

Strength:

NOTHING!

Weakness:

They broke twice. That's a pretty bad weakness.

I paid $250 for these new. Once installed, they had broken in 2 weeks. I installed them on Tokico struts and they some how forced themselves down the strut stretching the sleeves to the point of allowing no adjustability. I called Leo @ Weapon R and was told it was my fault, my installation was not exactly as it was supposed to be. They charged me $50 for new sleeves and I installed them 100% CORRECT according to their instructions. Guess what? They broke in a week. This is just garbage. I will never own another Weapon R product again nor will I recommend them to anyone. I currently have a Weapon R filter on my car and I'm looking into getting that off the car just so I can be 100% Weapon R free... Their product is billed as a "race suspension" when in fact, it's not good for anything but maybe a show car that isn't driven. Don't waste your money, maybe the Skunk2 coilovers are better.. I don't know..

Model Reviewed: 1999 Prelude

Strength:

They look good, that's about it.

Weakness:

Terrible quality, don't waste your money!

I have the circuit pro suspension on my Prelude and let me just say I wish I never bought them. The front rattle like crazy, mine were missing 3 set screws that hold the collar on the strut, they bottom out on everything and I do mean everything, the rear makes groaning and clunking sounds. Very poorly manufactured. They suck! Don't waste your time or your money.

Model Reviewed: 96 Honda Civic

Strength:

The only strengths I reall see in coilovers is that it lowers and raises you car.

Weakness:

When you try to adjust it, if the holes for the keys don't align right it is a b%#^h to try to get the rings to loosen.

Yeah it's true about how it squeaks and all, but you just have to be patient and let it sync in. On my car the weapon-r are kool...I just installed some tokico illuminas and the ride is hella good. They aren't that stiff only if I hit a dip or something then the ride will become a little bouncing, but I would recommend getting some shocks to match it, it really helps.

Model Reviewed: 1999 Integra LS

Strength:

Adjustable height is really awesome. Also it was pretty cheap (at least for these springs at the time i bought it).

Weakness:

Horrible ride. Makes my shocks bottom out too often.

I got these coilovers thinking that it would be really cool to adjust the height. But the ride was horrible. Even after I have some tokico illuninas installed, the ride did not improve too much. The springs doesn't absorb shocks very well, even when you set it higher. I had some lightspeed racing springs with a 2.25 inch drop and stock struts before this and i had a better ride then now. Bottom line is that these are probably better for the tracks then on the street.
