They're good if you want the car to look good and low..
But handling and comfort is another thing..
If you put those on stock shocks ..expect a bouncy ride..and blown shocks soon
If on aftermarket shocks dont lower anymore then 1.5 inch or else you'll get a bouncy ride..and those springs sag..But they're worth the $39.99 off ebay

I used a set of there coilovers a few years, they worked ok i guess. The ride was bumpy on stock struts. With tokicos the ride was alot better, not great but i was able to stand it. Oh and after time the spring will sag quite a bit...

If you want good coil-overs get Ground controls..and Koni's

if you want real coil overs get Tein (our sponsor)

That's a little extreme, don't you think?

me, bauley civic, and a couple other people , have used these coilover sleeves
for years with no problems. and actually have been very happy with them.

I'd say they are just as good ad ground control,
only downside is you are stuck with the springrates.

so if you want 450f/ 350r then they are a good buy!
but if you want a different springrate then go with something else.

install them correctly and you will enjoy them

p.s.
you need a good shock to make any spring ride well.

Get Omnipower full coilovers. I have the sport but only the front installed. Still gotta install the back. With just the front ones installed I'm already in love with them. For the price your getting way more than you would think.

yeah those are good too.
no damping adjustability though, thats my gripe with em.

But aside from that, dual height adjust would be so nice. And they seem so well built.
