Default V-Maxx coilovers feedback

So I am thinking of getting the V Maxx coilovers for the car and I was just wanting to get some feedback on how the suspension is. Is there any bumpsteer or anything along these lines. Also, I travel up the mtns once or twice a week during ski season and wanted to know if anyone has used them in a climate like Colorado during winter.

I wouldnt run them with 18's they are too soft you will probly rub if you put the coils any lower than 2 fingers between the fender and tire. I have tein coils and have the same problem.

search please, this has been covered multiple times, but I'll give you a quick re-cap because I'm nice.



Vmaxx are a great budget C/O if you want to retain stock comfort and spring rate
(which means you'll bounce more and possibly bottom out more if you have teh car slammed)
They also don't have corrosion resistant bodies so they have been known to seize in
certain climates (meaning you would not be able to adjust height at your whim).
They also have a very good rep here in the states which will stand behind it's products and honor it's warranty's


All in all - good budget C/O but more focused on the looks of C/O over the performance of C/O. So you really need to evaluate what kind of driver you are. If you find yourself late breaking on corners and trying to cut the race line through S-turns,V-Maxx might not be the C/O set-up for you. If you're slammed sitting at 23.5" ground to fender and cruise around alot but never hit corners at (to some) excesive speeds, then they will do you good.
