coil-overs slip type

In the stuff my friend gave me today, this is a set of slip type coilovers. Keep in mind that he gave them to me so he had no reason to say they were nice to make a sale or anything of the sorts.

He had told me previously that they were the cheap ebay type slip fit coilovers. while I was checking them out I mentioned to him that I may try these till I have the money to buy something like a skunk 2 setup.
He kinda laughed at me. He said that skunk 2 is probably the same quality as what he was giving me, and that these had come from a name brand company a few years back. That most of the stuff is just knock offs from even most of the "trusted" name companies. And that spring rates, etc aren't rocket science, which I know is true (about spring rates).

He told me these were some of the nicer, higher dollar knock offs but couldn't remember the name of the company.
He said for dropping my car and not using it to compete that I'd probably be very happy with the ride quality etc. He tried to stress to me that the real difference I'm going to feel will be in the struts that I buy.

Anybody recognize these (i only took a picture of one). Don't hesitate to tell me they're cheap crap. Remember I've got $0 into these.

  • Those are some of the best out there. They're definitely not cheap Ebay crap. They are Ground Control coil overs (or a really good copy). I'd say that they're better than Skunk2 if they are authentic Ground Control parts.
  • another quick question. Two have the piece that's on the top, two don't. Is that the normal setup or am I missing some pieces?

    Ground Control labels their coils. Should be stamped with a "Eibach" logo.

    :?
  • Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're just a copy. May throw em' on just to see what I think.
    Which way do they go? Sleeve on the top or sleeve on the bottom??? I have tried to find an answer to this question searching here, honda tech, and civic4g. No luck.
  • sleeve on bottom

    looks like ground control except for all the labels.
