for gods sake why do guys try and cut corners. just do it right the first time and it will save you money/time/headaches in the long run. a set of skunks might cost you around 200 bucks. just wait, do something along the lines of say, skunk, ground control, gold line (at the very least). the ones you are interested in there on ebay more than likely arent even engineered for your car, ie. sprint rate. so in return it wont even ride good nor improve your handling, just give you a lower ride height..iounno man..your ride..just my .02

I have a friend who bought those e-bay coilovers for his car like 6 months ago and his car is bouncy as **** with brand new struts and shocks in it. And with the coils all the way down his wheels aren't even tucking in the fenders so I wouldn't get them if I was you.

Dude... If you're working 48 Hrs/week, you can definately afford something better than those shitty *** springs. Don't convince yourself they will do, just to be cheap and save a few bucks. Afterall, is'nt your car worth it to you? Personally, my car is like a GF to me, she gets only the best gifts and my T.L.C, not some ghey eBay ****.

I know where you're coming from. I don't buy the most expensive stuff for my car, but I don't get the cheapest either. I've always regreted everything I've cheaped out on.
