how does ebay work exactly? You bid on something, win, send money, then get the item, or get the item then send money? Either way it seems fraudulent.

You get what you pay for. If you're going to pay $99 for a set of coilover sleeves, don't expect a good ride, perfect fit, and a nice even ride (they WILL settle unevenly).
Intakes are intakes though. Just a metal tube with a filter on it. The filter is where you'll see some differences.

Get on google and search. If you don't know how ebay works.....well, I just feel sorry for you and you probably don't know how google works. So here's a step by step
1. click HERE
2. In the blank space type in "how ebay works"
3. Click on one of the thousands of webpages that come up in your search results
4. Read those webpages

in any case, it's important to note that eBay is a market place for sellers, and you don't buy anything directly from eBay themselves.

DONT BUY THEIR COILOVERS, just pure garbage, if you have them use them only in between suspension setups. It is what i think is on my car, just no name coilovers and its the worse ride you can think of. Go-carts are smoother.

Intakes, i have one, even with their filter, and its an intake, you dont notice the power difference anyways.

intake ok, coilovers no. Bad experienced. I prefer going to a business and get a hook price on it.

never buy cheap coilovers from newhere most coilovers are expensive if u want a good ride all other will just be bumpy and bouncy ur better off with just springs preferebly eibach..as for intakes all intakes are are tubes with a filter any clean polished tube w/ minimal bends would be good as long as u have a decent filter on it therefor ebay is probably the cheapest bet n will most likely work fine for the filter i recomend K&N or apexi.

If you buy something from ebay, make sure oyu buy it from someone with a high and postive feedback. I would also read some of the feedbacks to see what other people say about the seller.
