People are largely polarized on these. I've seen several threads about them leaving/blowing in short order. Though most people buying these want to dump their cars for the least cost and don't care much about quality.

What are your goals for the car? There are several options in that price range that are arguably higher quality.

My honest opinion is that if you're cheap and/or broke, easily distracted by pretty colors, think tat somehow "one piece" coilovers are better than any spring/sleeve coilover setup, have no idea how suspension works or what a spring rate is but want only want to be slammed like your boys (and think you will ride "okay") then get these POS coilovers.

I'm tired of trying to convince people to stop buying this Chinese/Tiawanese knockoff crap.

There's nothing wrong with one piece coilovers or shock/coil options. People just tend to get stuck on thinking that somehow 1 piece coilovers are somehow superior, and they aren't.

Coilovers are not inherently less comfortable, usually they're more comfortable because the damper is appropriately mated to the spring rate.

However, there are plenty of good adjustable shocks and good springs or coil sleeves you can buy as well.

H&R race, for example, is a really solid lowering spring. But you'll need some serious shocks like Tokico Illuminas or Koni Yellow to not blow your shocks out. Personally I always push people to get adjustable coilovers or coil sleeves because you can fine tune your ride height and balance.

if you want to slam it and it ride well these arent what your looking for...plus they dont go very low if thats what you wanted...my buddy had some and at a normal drop they rode ok i guess for the money
