Default Coilovers on eBay?

Here are a few I'm looking at right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1871659668

Before someone says..."just get springs", let me say the front right of my car had been hit and it sits about an inch taller then the rest of the car. So, to get things even I need some adjustment, hence the coilovers. So what do you all think? Anyone used any of these?

i got the gc knock offs from ebay, they ride just as good as my suspension technique springs, just make sure you get some gas shocks and im sure they will be ok..........i hope, im on blown shocks, i will get some gas shocks soon

well if the front sits higher i would not use coil overs to fix that, unless its caused by a problem with your shocks

UPDATE: Do not but eBay coilovers. These things ride like crap...VERY stiff....undrivable and very unsafe!

How about the coilovers from speedpeople.com, are those any good? They are not that expensive and I think the company that makes them is Zero1Racing.
Any comments on this?

I got a set of the first pic you put up. They are stiff enough for my b16 "H&R to soft" and they handle better then H&R on the coners. This is a 4 door with stock shocks.
