Re: my 2006 scoobie: baller status fail, pg. 19

Those are gonna look sexy. They woulda gotten my vote as well had I read this thread earlier. Good choice.
 


Re: my 2006 scoobie: baller status fail, pg. 19

gotta show you folks how it's done.

now someone buy my 19s.
 


Re: my 2006 scoobie: baller status fail, pg. 19

they'll be better than mine, that's for sure.

if i was buying new ones (i might next year) i'd get stance GR+ or BC BR.
 
Re: my 2006 scoobie: baller status fail, pg. 19

I found a set for $500 OBO + 60 shipping..I'm thinking about it. I have better things to spend my money on right now but this seems like one of those deals that's too good to pass up.

i wouldnt never buy a used set of coilovers and im all about cheap parts. seriously, just pass.
 
Re: my 2006 scoobie: baller status fail, pg. 19

the tires are 225/35/19. too small for a grand prix by a lot.
Stock Tires --------New Tires
Sidewall - 5.3 ------Sidewall - 3.2
Radius - 13.3 ------Radius - 12.7
Diameter - 26.6 ----Diameter - 25.5
Circum - 83.7 ------Circum - 80.0
Rev/Mile - 757.0 ---Rev/Mile - 792

4.3% Too Fast, When your speedo shows 60mph you'd be traveling 57.4mph

Sux about the wheels and the problems that arose but glad your getting a equally good looking set, can't wait to see them on, will be SEX

Just out of curiosity why do you say that? Excuse my ignorance, I don't know anything about suspension parts. They have 16K miles on them, the guy said he's selling them to get something stiffer.

if he is selling to get something stiffer i can only assume he rode them really low and wants something stiffer to go even lower. this means that in the 16k miles they were on the car they got ****ed up.

rebuilding a set of coilovers costs in the area of at least a few hundred dollars including you shipping them to the manufacturer. at that rate you might as well spend another couple hundred and get a brand new set. dont get me wrong, if he rode his car around on a 2" drop and just drove the car (no tracking of it) then they are probably fine. also, consider what car they were on and how often they saw the street. if they were on a DD all of the locking rings are probably frozen solid and you won't be able to break them free unless you break them off.

either way, its up to you. i just think it'd be more of a hassle than just buying a new set for $1100.
 
Re: my 2006 scoobie: baller status fail, pg. 19

That all makes sense to me and that's enough reason for me to pass them up. I have better things to spend money on right now anyhow. I need to do some more reading on stuff like this. Thanks Bio.
