hmm, a coilover set for $319 probably isnt going to be very good... I have no idea about this particular one though.. but i would guess its going to be kinda crappy, you get what ya pay for most of the time.. just my 2 cents... see what others say

Hell, try it out. If it is good, you win. If it sucks, sell it to some local kid for $400.

I for one would never trust an OBX product, they suck *** but for 3XX who cares, worth a shot.

don't get OBX anything, you might as well get a set of lowering springs and keep your stock struts, the quality will probably be comparable.

I fixed that for you. APC will back up their warranty when their parts break, obx knows their parts will break and doesn't care, they just expect you to have to buy another one. They both suck my ***.
