SEARCH...
no ebay ones are nowhere near the same
1 popular setup is ground control springs on koni yellow struts.
SEARCH
Cheap = skunk2 adjustables, although I have them and don't like them very much.
SEARCH
Heard good things about the d2's
heard bad things (breaking) about the omni-powers
SEARCH
What is your price range and desired drop amount?

sleeved will offer you as much as a full kit, sans the blingyness.

koni/gc

dont do ebay **** for suspension components. name brands off ebay is fine, but not those $10 coilover kits. i shudder just to think of the consequences

for a quick run down....sleeved go over your stock struts...or aftermarket ones

full coilovers are the strut and spring. combined.

like the guy said above....gc/koni is a nice setup....it cost but its damn good...its sleeved

full coilovers are tein....d2....buddy club...h&r. just to name a few.

google sleeved coilovers then full coilovers. should tell you a little bit about them

Yeah eBay is a no no for Coilovers... however, Im running dropzone coilovers and shocks on my sol and they handle alot better than stock and ride good too. I know LOTS of people on here will say you get what you pay for. Thats true but not everyones going to be building a road race car either. Anyways they havent given me any problems so far. Iv got about 4k on them.

What are your plans for the car?
