Lotek Struts and Springs????????

Post by heckdave »

Does anybody have any experience with the Lotek suspension system currently offered on Ebay? Cheaper Ebay stuff scares me, but who knows????

On top of that, I would feel better if they were called "Hitek" instead of Lotek :freak:

Not rich enough at this point for experiments, although it is tempting.

LoTek=Dropzone

Those springs look exactly like the dropzone springs I have. The struts won't last with those springs, they'll blow out quick. They might be good for stock ride height though. :shrug:

Thanks, Savin. If I can scrounge the extra cash somewhere, I just might go with coilovers.

i got Ei Bach springs 3 years ago. They were used and they were on KYB GR2's for a total of 4.5 years. My struts are just starting to go now. its a 1" lowering spring. Maybe if you find a pair of Ei Bach's you;ll like em.
