Default accord coilovers

I was recently looking around on ebay and i came across a set of coilovers. The thing is the coilovers are way cheap like 30 bucks, has anyone bought some of these coilovers? I'm looking to lower my accord but i do want to know if these coilovers are worth a crap.

What's the link? If they're $30 the quality may be cheap or they may be used. But, what do I know? I haven't seen them yet.

Save the money and buy a real coil over kit. Search this site for AMR, you'll save yourself from slamming your head against the wall, trust me.

Definitely. I wouldn't get those coil overs for $30. There's either something wrong with them or they just suck in general.

the quote is, "you get what you pay for."

...and the shipping on those are another $30. unless you know how to install them yourself, you will spend another $100 to get them installed. [$160] you find out they ride like ****, or your struts blow; youll pay another $750-900 installed, minimum for a decent setup. thats from experience. [cracked sleeves, stripped threads]

I have some as well and they ride pretty good, but definitly need some tokico illuminas. I heard AGX's weren't that great at all from the suspension forum.
