i bought similar coilovers before...but they were red and from Dropzone. they are probably worth the cheap $$$, but not the best. if you want cheap ones like those for just lowering your car...i'd go for it.

they'll work its just that they probably aren't made of quality metal and won't last as long as skunk2 or Ground Control...if you have the money to spend on good stuff, its very worth it, but if you don't you should be alright. Definitly look into getting new struts and a camber kit though while you are at it...your stock struts won't last long at all and your tires will start to wear quickly

hell no i wouldn't buy those. save your money for something somewhat respectable. your suspension is one thing you shouldn't go cheap on. but they're only $40 + shipping, so your only flushing $70 down the toilet; and for all i know they could out perform an $1800 setup.

oh yeah!

I just got my bro to buy those....take out the springs and get some Eibach coilver springs for 110 for all 4 in custom rates, throw those on there, and you have brand new custom coilovers for 150 bucks , plus new shocks...but cheaper than GC's with the same springs

Honestly, you're going to bounce with any coilover if you slam your car. If you do like I did and only lower it like 2" or less, then it'll be fine. If you wanna ride low and have 3" of your wheel tucked in your wheel well, whether you have GC's or dropzone's you're gonna bounce all over the place.

it depends on what you want 4 peices of **** or do you want to spend the money and get something that will actually make your car perform better put it this way you get what you pay for if you want a sleeve coil-over go with ground control. i work in a performance shop i have had to install the shitty coil-overs before and drive the car with them they are ****
