Default eBay coil springs

I installed skunk2 shocks today. Along with some bushings that had to be replaced. I want the car lower, and I have looked on eBay and came across the knock off coil springs, would it be worth the thirty dollars and the work to install them? Has anyone used them? Here is a link to the part. I payed 500 dollars for the car which is why I don't want to spend much more money on it.

Yes, if you like a bouncy and horrible ride.
I had no names, I hated driving the car.
2 of my friends currently have no names, they bounch all over the road, and cant take a corner unless it is as smooth as glass. Cars both bounch so bad, it scares them/me. 1 is slammed, other is not.

It's your money,car,life, so do as you please.

JDM, sports, racing, and performance, all in one sentence; and on top of that, for only $30. I love how it's carefully tuned for an Integra AND an Accord, which is twice the weight of an Integra. The most important thing is the "aggressive appearance on the track."

If you'll be doing the work yourself, I'd say get the springs. Worst case, you'll lose an hour switching them back to the stock ones.
