The name already turns me off. Where you are purchasing them from is turning me off.

Sorry, no experience with them to offer.

If you're going to use them for simply dumping the car, knock yourself out, they'll probably be good for 6 months

I'm not going to dump it and go super low. And I found several other reviews with people who have ran them for awhile and say they are actually really good. Guess I'll let you know kown in 6 months

Even if they take a crap in less than a year, at least you won't be out too much money.

Well, if you are just going to slam it to the ground, then you don't need any shock spring that offers the slightest hint of performance at all.
Slammed suspension needs to be as stiff as possible with no suspension travel.

So ive had them on for a few weeks now and ive gotta say, im thoroughly impressed with them for the price they are listed for. The ride is a bit rough but that was expected and it doesnt even bother me, or at least it hasnt yet. There is definitely a very noticeable difference in handling and I got the drop i was looking for, id say if your on a budget and dont want to go stupidly low they are just fine for the price.

Just be aware of the shady ebay listing lol, it said it would fit my car (1991 honda civic hatchback) but turns out the add was wrong and they were eg struts, which are the exact same in the back but i had to get eg forks for the front in order to allow the struts to fit right.
