If you want to change your suspension, yes.

no. maybe use them as a doorstopper or a wall ornament until you can save up enough $ for a good drop.

i have cheap ebay coils and it would be a smoother ride if i just used a solid piece of steel instead of them

I have Tom's Motorsports coilovers in my Integra (only because they were free). There ok, i have no complaints, compared to my old school skunk coilover i perfer the tom's, they are a lot stiffer than the skunk2 were. I have been using them on stock integra shocks for over 4 months and the ride is nice and smooth, it feels like im at stock height(even thou its dropped like 2"). They sell for $75 shipped on Ebay and for that price its a steal(just for the looks that is).

Thats just my personal experience.

if you're on stock shocks and don't care if they blow and you want a lowered stance...why not?

Think about it... there's a reason why they're not on his car anymore, and why u are in possession of it now.

i just bought a civic with some on it. the douchebag that owned it left the stock struts on it, thought it would be cool to sit at 2" low. you can't complain about the stiffness, when you take off the car don't rock at all. but they're bumpy as hell...i will be switching to tein s.tech springs VERY soon with either illuminas or agx's
