    Coilover sleeves? Generally a bad idea.

    I would only recommend it if you got Ground Control coilover sleeves (these are made by Eibach). Everything else supposedly rides too rough.

    Otherwise just get a full coilover system - a matched set of springs AND dampers.

    yep sleeves is not a good idea. i had r type sleeves before and the worst part is, it gets lower and lower as months go by, you have to adjust it every other month. and when the rainy days hit, mud gets into to groves and its hard to get them out just to adjust it. you would need wd40 or a real high pressure water hose to be able to adjust them freely.

    good point is that with the EK, if you use sleeves mapapantay mo yung left and right drop. with lowering springs, well lower lagi yung driver side. kahit sa stock height mapapansin mo na lower yung driver side.

    edit: i used stock shocks with the sleeves and lagi bottom out yung shocks ko. lagi "dug-dug" kahit lubak lang.
