Default R1 coilovers

Well this guy I know has some R1 coilovers, he said he only used them for a week.
He said he was willing to sell them to me for 30$. My questions are, is this worth it and who makes R1 coilovers, also would I need to get new aftermarket shocks if I wanted to drop my car like 2" ?

Throw a spoon on the ground and whatever sound it makes is the name of the Taiwanese company that made them.

its worth it if all you want to do is drop the car for looks. I would suggest getting some aftrmarket shocks. Stock shocks arent meant for the limited travel of a lowered car. You also would have kind of a bumpy ride with stockers. You dont have to go all out expensive either. Get gome tokico blues or some KYB GR2 struts. I have some ebay coilovers on GR2 struts on my beater crx and they ride great and look good too.
