Do you really need to ask that? Seriously?

Put em on if you want squeeky over sprung **** on your shocks. And they'll probably break the spring perches as well. But if you just wanna put your car on the ground like many others, they should work fine, until they break or you get tired of not being able to turn.

thats a crazy price for a set of four. i have some V-spec coil overs with stock shocks on my da, they work fine.

you just have to be careful not to drop it too low or else you will rub. as long as you live in an area that has good roads and freeways you'll be fine just avoid the bumps at all costs.

ebay link + word drifting = epic fail.

I was nice enough to look and they are your run of the mill off brand junk, everything about them is of poor quality.

either way if you REALLY want these, get em, then save, then go to

"cheap" is around $300-400 for adjustable coilovers. and yes you can get quality for around that price.

the link above shows the set of 4 skunk2...if you look around that site you'll find Ground Control adj. coil overs but they sell front set and rear set, no complete set. a lil more than $400 total i believe.

anything else is risky, you might ruin your shock.

Unless you are planning on changing your ride height multiple times there is no reason to buy coilovers as opposed to lowering springs. And these will make your car feel like ****, both in the corners and while driving. If you want some decently priced lowering springs that are still comfortable buy some tein s-techs or something, I've got them on mine, they're great.

H+R race or Eibach.....for springs....plenty low....

Sleeve overs....Skunk2 or Tein or GC wich are Eibach as well and worth the money.

Get either Tokico Illumina or Koni red or yellow for the damper.

I've actually had the great displeasure of installing some of these generic crap coil-overs on a customer's car (after multiple warnings to him about how crappy they are) and not only did one of the rear springs COLLAPSE when we let the car down off of the lift and the car's weight fell upon them, but the allen head lock nut (they were actually a step nicer than these "drift" ones in this topic) for the perch broke on two of the four with literally no torque applied to them with a hand allen wrench.

To the OP if you want the car to ride well you will need to buy some good lowering springs and shocks.

Might I suggest KYB GR-2 shocks at roughly $55.00 a piece, and some Tein S-Tech, Neuspeed soft sport (green), or Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs.

Any combo of these and a proper alignment will make the car sit a bit lower, handle better, and rode even better than stock worn out crap. At the heights these suggested lowering springs drop the car you won't even need a camber kit - just make a proper 4 wheel toe alignment is done.
