since technically ebay doesnt make coilovers can you specify what seller or store you got these from would make it more helpful...

Mine bounce pretty bad, But like stated before I wanted to get Low, more than I wanted it to ride nice. (see Sig for positive reasons to get ebay springs)
I have no collar in the back, two blown struts in the back and the front has somemore space for slammage. Like the guy above said, Hack a coil in the rear and it will tuck.
**disclaimer** Ebay style springs are ghetto as expletive, Use them temporarily until you can buy a higher quality setup.
One day you'll be crusing down the higway and hit a weird bump and get thrown into the lane next to you. believe me it happens

I have EBAY "Ground Control Coilovers" They say Ground Control on them, but the spring doesnt say Eibach.

I dont have any recent pics though, sorry. Check out the EF Sedan Squad thread for a pic before I started to restore the Hooptie.

those coilovers are probably used by most companies such as Megan, Matrix, etc etc, maybe even Skunk2? they just paint it different colors and put their name on it.

They were on the car when I bought it. I have, as of late, knocked off the rear spring perches to drop the car another 2 inches, and bumped the front all the way down. They are a little bouncy, but, thats what happens when you go all the way down.

If I were you, just get a set of R1 or Matrix ones for right now until you can afford something like Omnipowers; which I am saving for.

i got them for my hatch when i first got it, got stupid low and it bounced like crazy. Not bad at all for the price. I've since upgraded to omin's. HUGE difference. When i had my accord i had generic coilovers too, now that was WAY too bouncy. I can't blame anyone for getting ebay coilovers, you get low and its fawkin cheap. But please upgrade when you have the cash, its well worth it.
