Overall I am very pleased with the coilovers. The dampening that I have set has a good ride feel and the overall build quality seems excellent. I can say that these coilovers are comparable in quality and ride to much more expensive brands that I have tried in the past and I would highly recommend them. Also Ceika has excellent customer support, I have reached out to them a couple times now and they are very quick with replies and super helpful.
These have been awesome for a car that doesn’t really see coilovers. My A8 has been razor sharp in the curves. But if I were to give myself some adjustment, and if I go with a bigger wheel and less sidewall, is it possible the buy separate springs? Hoping to get some comfort styles to mitigate it.
I love the product and quality! Finally installed them last week and raced on Colorado state highways! (no tickets!)
Love the brakes huge difference in stopping power compared to stock
Installed the 6 piston front big brake kit on my vw cc 2.0 (2008-2012). First off, let me say that the calipers and the rotors look great! I got the drilled and slotted rotors and love the design, however, the holes and slots accumulate rust which doesn't go away after braking. Knowing this now, I should have just spent the extra $70 on the anti-rust coating. The stopping power is significantly better than my stock brakes, so I'm glad I didn't just pay for the aesthetics haha. Something to be aware of is how installing the calipers affects the brake sensor. My brake sensors were built into the stock calipers, and there is no way to reuse them. Unfortunately, the Ceika brake kit doesn't come with brake pad sensors so now I have the "brake" light showing on the dash. Not a super big deal, but I want to let the reader know anyway. All in all, very satisfied with the brakes and they definitely unlocked a new dimension of excitement for my car.
Fitted these to a Jaguar S-Type, along with poly bushing and new Yoko V107 tyres. They are good quality, shocks provide wide adjustment. Running them now on stiffest setting, car performs very well for its class. Running 16k F, 10k R, which is the standard spring rate. May go to stiffer springs since the car seems to be under-sprung, a bit too much movement at higher speed (200kmh) and slightly too much body roll and floaty at slow speeds. Would recommend really being realistic about driving conditions, if it's similar to track, then you need stiffer rates. Standard/medium equates to a sport street condition (like OEMs set up their sport versions).
Great product and custom tailored to my needs as a cruiser. Installation was perfect with no fitment issues. Great price and highly recommend.
Good quality stuff! Came well packaged and arrived in a timely matter. However the rear suspension once installed on the car sits quite a bit higher than the front, and can't be adjusted low enough to be level, which is somewhat disappointing for the price.
Hi Joshua,
Thank you for your feedback.
If you want the rear to be lower, you can remoove the locking rings of the rear high low kit or remoove the high low kit fully.
Feel free to contact us by email if needed.
Looking forward to read you.
Everything fit perfectly fine no hassle the instructions/welding is alittle different here in NZ but was still piece of cake, super happy with the results
Customer wanted coil overs, looked around and bought Ceika coil overs. Great quality and easy to put on. Customer loves them, street driven.
Ok, after some back and forth with the production staff, the brake system arrived much quicker than I thought it would. I have inspected it thoroughly and I see very good quality. I haven't been able yet to determine the braking efficiency and I will send a new review when I do. So far, I am very impressed, quality of build, quality of packaging, speed of service. All three very good.
After a few hiccups, we got back on track. Thanks to Jean-loop for all the great customer support!! The time difference (HST) made it quite challenging. But thank you again!
They look and feel great. There was a slight problem with the install because the bottom of the front coilovers where too wide for my lower control arm but I used some nuts as spacers. Besides that do t regret a thing.
Hi Izzy,
Thank you for your feedback,
Would you be able to measure the width of your lower control arm, so we can remake the lower mount with the correct specs and ship some to you.
Really like the way they perform and the comfort they provide, the way they were setup was not drivable when I put them in as it was scraping on the floor, but after raising them up and stiffening the suspension a bit more was able to ride the way I wanted
Still some of the best braking systems we have used. We track these and use them on our street cars. Fitment is always spot-on, quality os over the top and they look incredible. All for about 2/3 the cost of some of the other BBK out there.
I was unsure if I would like the coil overs but did not know that I would like them this much. the car feels like it is on rails but still has a nice ride quality given that they are definitely more stiff than stock. These Coil overs have made my car feel very and is refreshing to drive again.
Absolutely stoked with my purchase!! Very reasonable price with exceptional product and service.
The whole process from contacting Ceika to make sure I ordered the right suspension through to it turning up on my doorstep was a breeze. I'd highly recommend!
I still have yet to install them, since my mechanic was on a sick leave 2 weeks ago and earliest date is in two weeks, and since I didn't want to tackle the brake fluid flush, especially on LS460 ..yeah, getting pretty impatient.
Anyway, when I unpacked some of the boxes, although expected, I was pleasantly surprised on how well everything is packed, crafted, nicely painted (time will show, how long will the paint on the calipers last though).
UPDATE:
Really pleased with this kit, breaks a bit firmer, makes braking more assuring, has more initial bite to it. Street pads dust more, than my previous ceramic Akebonos, but that was expected, will see, how long will those last.
The dimensions pretty much correlate with templates, thus I can get my rims re-liped and push them inwards. (main reason, I got the kit).
The installation apparently was a breeze, no surprises, everything worked out on first try.
So far love the looks, and given this is one of the *very* few complete lower-profile kits for my car AND for the price I've paid for F & R ~4k, I think 'money well spent'.
The Coilovers had to be pulled super tight to fit. It didn't seem like it was custom fitted for the F430.
The coilovers fitted perfectly (although they need some welding because the OEMs are welded to the wheel hub carrier). Came with some instructions to cut the OEMs and weld the Ceika ones, and they also fit with the Stanceparts Air Cups, in the front and rear. The Sport configuration I got permitted slamming the car far more than what I wanted. Recommended!
I got these for my 996 Turbo that I use as a daily/fun driver (no track days) and went with the comfort setup. The car handle alot better than stock and also handles bumps/potholes better with no clunks. I decided on 20 clicks from soft to hard and am happy with the ride quality. The only thing I would change is that it needs to include a longer set of adjusters for the rears as it is covered by the stereo in the 996TT.
