I actually knew a guy who got ebay coils like you did for next to nothing and ran them on his stripped EG hatch (B16 swap,GSR w/lsd tranny,I/H/E/P no A/C or power steering,tuned w/uberdata:D) and he ran them for 5-6 months before he blew up his motor and got an integra. They worked fine for him....rode like absolute ***,and had horrible bounce,haha but for the $ they did the job.


Personally I wouldn't expletive with them. Did you see that pic of the dropzone coil all fucked up? that actually has a "name brand" on it...hah

Granted, Dropzone the name may be common enough, but the quality sucks ***. Maybe a step above egay coilovers, just maybe.

$5 ebay coilovers...I would worry about the damn spring breaking while i'm driving, I would never recommend cutting stock springs, but you'd atleast be safer then installing these. Not my car though, so do as you wish.


Don't people realize there is a reason even cheap coilover sleeves are $200-$250 and that anything less then Omni or Skunk should never be used. Best is probably Ground-control since they use Eibach ERS springs and have lifetime warranty.

Don't forget an alignment too, thats another $60 or you or you'll be after ebay tires in no time

Would you rather install those 5 dollar coilovers and porbably have something happen to your car. End up paying more to fix your car, or Get some decent ones and not have to worry about something bad happening to your car? Hmmmmm the choice is up to you

wow.. dont put them on, all they do is blow out your shock absorbers (thats why the ride is bouncy) and wear out you tires.... the spring rate is not right for the weight of the car
