Would you buy some cheap ebay coilovers like these

for the sleeves and then use some skunk2 drag springs?
Im asking this cause someone has skunk2 drag springs for sale but no sleeves or wrench.

I'd say your ok, but I've taken some of those ebay coilovers off peoples cars, and they tend to rust together. What ever coating they use don't hold up very well. If you spray it with wd40 or pb blaster every once in a while I'm sure you would be okay.

I've also seen cheap sleeves mushroom out and split/crack around the bottom after awhile.

Yeah I heard that the rings can seize onto the sleeve.
