Are You Happy with Your EVO Bolt-On Coil Over Springs?

[FastEddie760]

Am I missing something here? Did you add eClik tech to your EVO coilovers? Didn’t know that’s a thing.

Yes I did add the SDI Pro kit for the Jeep JL. But it seems pretty voodoo to talk about it here "on an old thread". And be careful asking anybody about it on here as they are clearly anti electronic shock valving... You can message me and I can try to answer any questions you have.

And I'm surprised by Eddie's comments about live valve shocks considering his youtube channel and trying to test, be innovative and have the best he can get. I mean some of his suspension setups run north of $30k+. After his latest comments he's clearly attacking me and back tracking on his comments of live valve shocks. I'm sure he would sing a different tune if they 'gave' him a set to try out. And that's fine, now I know what to expect.

Probably not.

Try $50k+

Funny, I totally missed where I've back tracked on anything or "clearly attacked" you but hey, if you say so, it must be true

and there you have it. Because anyone who really knows me knows that I would only say good things about something I got for free.

I'd also like to add, in spite of the 9 Jeeps I have, 4 of which are built up and 2 of them extremely built up, this is one of the Jeeps I had the most fun with recently and still kind of miss.

What does eclik or live valve have to do with the poll in this thread?

Has this been answered by fastfaggy?

Thought I'd chime in on this thread. I am NOT happy with my EVO Bolt On Coilovers because I don't have them and I'm very disappointed they haven't found their way onto my Jeep yet.

I also see FastEddie760 from North County San Diego seems to really like e-chicks or whatever they're called. Interesting.

I’ve had my bolt on coilovers for two years now. I’m happy with the 250/250 fronts. The rear because of my bumper choice, tire size and gear I carry, plus pulling a camping trailer off road. I have gone to 300/350 in the rear. I believe the out the box rates are for a stockish/ lighter setup.
Around town driving the ride is still a little stiff out on the highway at speed they act better as they are able to work as they should. (this is my opinion on the ride quality), but I like the way they perform in the rocks and out in the desert.

I'm late to the conversations but from what I've read, @FastEddie760 has EVO coil overs and added the E-Click shocks to correct what he considers crappy coils...

EVO has stated numerous times the coils that come with the coil over kits are fine for most consumers and all others need to put in the work to find the coil combination to fit their specific need, other manufacturers of coil overs have stated the same thing.

These out of the box kits are not meant for someone who plans to use their rig for more "enthusiastic" driving.

I'm half a tick off center retarded, but IMO you can't rely on a single component to be the "fix" for a set of components that need to work together to provide the outcome that you want for your rig, there is no single special sauce to fit every need.

You can buy coils relatively cheap for testing purposes or, pay to get an expert to analyze your rig and help you tune it for your needs.

I recall E-Click when they were in the testing phase, they were promoted for the overland crowd to help control the sway and shit from RV's etc... and have evolved into the lucrative off-road market, they have 3 settings, soft, medium and firm.

I suspect removing your sway bar and nothing else to replace it other than the shocks is why when you have them set to firm, the ride feels better.

The shocks are supposed to balance the equation, not remove components that are critical to the overall equation.

Really sounds like you need to reach out to E-Click and see what they have to offer as a solution to your needs.

But what happens if you hit bumps in a turn?

Na I’m good, just didn’t realize you could add those to reservoir shocks, I thought it was just the stand alone kits they sell, And what I read had nothing to do with Eddie back tracking, he was talking about little adjustable knobs then you went to live valving, which are very different. And if know anything about Eddie, (which I don’t, never met the guy) he’d probably tell you even his suspension is completely unnecessary for 99% of people, and so is live valving, but if you have the money and want the cool factor with maybe some performance add then go for it, but he’s not gonna tell the average guy there is any need for that. I’ll admit, I don’t know a lot about the eclick you are running but I’d guarantee there is a massive difference between what you have and what the ultra 4 cars are running so there’s that too.
