They arent coilovers m8, they just let you adjust the ride height like a coilover. I just wondered if ANYONE has ever used them before.

**** for 50$ I'd buy em and try em out. The worst that can result is a weak spring. 2.0 ELK wrote up a DIY on increasing shock travel to eliminate bounce.
Try it. If it dont work out. Sell it to a local no-nothing at a local Junior College. Make a few bucks

I would'nt get them, save the money and put it towards a nice set of ground controls or something. They might be cheap but thats what you are going to get, a cheap ride.

I realise that they arent exactly designed to give me a good ride but for appearance surely they would be ok, and then in the future if i swapped the shocks with uprated ones it would be better handling.
So noone on here has anything the same as those coilover springs?

you can use them until your shocks blow (1 day - 2 years), then you are forced to spend hundreds on a new suspension setup.

I had them on my civic for about a year. Had like a 2 inch drop. Anyway, they werent that bad of a ride quality. It depends what type of shocks you get. They only thing I noticed after awhile was that it was starting the sag lower. Not really badly but I know for a fact they werent at the same spot when I first had them.

I got a set... ordered them for an accord to put on my civic- spring rates were higher.. can't complain for 50$ I mean you do get what you paid for, but overall for 50$ they aren't super horrible... I just ran them for about a month on the track and got rid of em...
