Yeah, dude, I wouldn't put anything on my car suspension-wise that you can get for twenty bucks.. I'd think it'd defeat the purpose. Do some research. Search for springs and see what other people have to say about different name brands.

Both of them are crap. Save up your money for better ones such as skunk2, Ground Control, Sprint, etc. Those ebay coilovers will only give you headaches you never had in your life. You will have to adjust them everytime they loosen up due to poor tread quality on the sleeve.

Never cheap out on parts that you rely your life on especially suspension.

If you want cheap, try Maxspeed or tenzo coilovers or, well their not as cheap as the ebay ones, around $200-250/set. Had Maxspeed on my EM1 for three years never had any problems until I sold the car.

you get what you pay for...cheap parts

you would be better buying a set of RS*R racing springs or PROGRESS springs.

Dont buy either one of them. They are both crap.Get a good set of lowering springs if you are on a budget. Such as H&R, Tein, and Eibach. The last thing you want to do is cheap out on suspension.

You can always buy just the adjustable coilover sleeves from good companies. But don't buy the cheap Ebay ones. they really do suck and they wear out too fast and give you an even shittier ride than they do to start.

if youre gonna go that far then i'd suggest getting full coilovers. putting slip over sleeves and new shocks is more of a pain than switching coilovers on.

this board has lots of info. read up

get used name brand suspension like some lowering springs u can get for 100 bucks used on any forum very easy i did that when i was broke i rolled wit those springs for a while till i got my d2's and also new springs and used springs are not a huge difference good springs will always be good springs and hold up for years and years eventually they will sag a little but barely noticeable
