- Ebay Suspension = Heh CRAP!
- Ebay Header = Eh, it works.
- Intake = Why not?
- MPFI = No argument, do it.

Yeah, they really are...I used to have em on my accord and they make creaking noises and ride like hell, they bounce and they'll ruin your struts...Had to buy 4 brand new kyb's because of them, they'll cost you more headache and money down the road

well... ****. yeah i guess thats why they were 40 bucks for a set of 4. are there any cheapo coilovers that will not result in this? My friend has a 240 with ebay coilovers all around, it feels really stiff and no creaking.. so I dunno which way to go on this.

if you go on nopi they sell lowering springs for a decent price, i got suspension techniques speed tech springs for like 130 bucks, which really isn't bad and they ride nice too
