I've read other wise, the only thing I seen "bad" about them is that people say you get what you pay for, but they arent the ones that have the coilovers. But no one has an extended review. Anyways.

OP - They will drop down 3 inches, I'm sure the wheels will be tucked under but dumped I'm not sure.

OP - I hope you have a lifetime alignment at your local place because if you're only going "dumped" for photos, your **** is gonna be all ****ed up.

They're standard eBay coilovers anyway, so just look at random one off brands and that'll give you some clarity.

k well just remember you have to align the car EVERY time you change ride height. Otherwise your tires are going to be trashed.

I've PM'd people with other cars (Nissan mostly) they admit they arent the best things in the world but for the price they aren't too bad, most of them dont DD with them so longevity is a question that still remains. A few people have blew their godspeed shocks on various car forums so it guess it's hit or miss on build quality. The best thing I guess would be having them installed by "professionals" (or have a buddy write up a service record) and work them hard the first few months to see if they will stand up because there is only a 1 year warrenty.

For the warranty to be valid the coilovers must be installed by "professionals" it says it right on their website. By that I would assume they want a maintenance record/slip from a certified technician. I didn't read the post saying you work at a dealership so sorry for that.
