Would this be a good deal on coilovers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

There is a guy near me selling two rear coil-overs and adjustable trailing arms for $300ish. They look like Eibach judging by what I think I see on the spring. If I were to get these is there any way to buy just the front pair from somewhere. I feel like finding someone who is selling two front Eibach coil-overs isn't going to happen and I don't want to be stuck with two rears and not be able to use them. If it seems like a good idea I'll call him for more info but I don't want to waste my time if I can't get the front ones. I have been debating between coil-overs or just springs, this may make my decision. I'm assuming Eibach is pretty good.

I'd stay away from it. They are $300 for a reason and I bet it's not a good reason. You want a suspension that is balanced and tuned to work as a system. The only reason one might buy two rear coilovers is if they were drag racing specific.

Yeah, something is fishy. $300 for a set of rear coil overs is scary enough but with control arm as well it definitely throws up some red flags.

I'll stay away from them then. Thanks for the input.
