"coilovers" shouldn't cost $55 lol. That just sounds and looks like guaranteed crap. If you're gonna buy coilovers, don't be stingy, man tongue.gif

I have my set laying around. PM me an offer and they're yours. It'll have to wait until August 19th as I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow.

I love how you guys talk out your ass...

Have any of you ever used them? I bet the answer is no....

For daily driving, they work just fine. I have a set on my vehicle, which have been there for about 6 months, not one issue, no noises, and are pretty solid. Now I of course have another, more expensive set laying around for just incase these do die.

Oh and your correct, "coilovers" should not cost 55 dollars, thats why they are coilover SLEEVES.

^ Okay, fine. But do you have any semblance of ride quality or proper adjustability?

Sure, with any lowered vehicle you lose some ride quality. I'm no expert on suspension, but I can explain it how I feel it everyday while driving.

1. I don't continue bouncing after hitting a bump.

2. I have to slow down to 10 mph to take a speed bump/hump, lowered by 1.5 front and back.

3. I can take off ramp switch back at 80mph, and still feel like there is more room before I lose it.

Thats about it, for simple daily driver that is looking for lowering their vehicle on a budget they work fine. For track, or anything quite serious...I wouldn't risk it.

I guess the OP would have to specify his want/needs.

They will not be a good replacement for OEM if you want a direct answer. As well if you are doing the backs, you best do the front as well =P

Well...I know Jon had cheapo ebay coils and he said that the ride quality was terrible.

I had a set like that and sold them on here. There not a POS there actually pretty nice. Mine were more than 55$ tho. But they looked like those.
