They'll drop the car alright, but the ride will be shitty.

they're junk. dont get them. i had them on my old hatch. the spring rates are WWAAAAYYYY to stiff, it rode like crap and if you put them on stock struts, you're just gonna blow them out after the first couple bumps you hit. save your pennies and get decent sset of full coilovers. so, FAIL!

if you are on the cheap get lowering springs, you should be able it pick up a set for around $100. the coilovers usually have problems and break

I actually never had a problem with $50 Ebay slip-over coilovers on stock struts. Rode on them for 2+ years, and felt like stock; no bounces or anything. Guess I got lucky.
