less than $120??

Why don't you just stick with the stock springs. You will not find any thing worth a damn that cheap.

$120? Coilovers? Good brand? First $120 might if even get you any good lowering springs. GOOD coilover sleeves are skunk 2 or ground controls and the range new anywhere from $300-$400 a set. I mean ultimately you get for what you pay for. I've always been a firm believer in that. You could try the ebay crap, but i wouldn't trust my ride of them. And dont forget about shocks with those coilovers as well, you will definately need them. TEIN full coilover systems

ground controls and skunk2s are not coilovers-they are more like adjustable springs that don't come with shocks. tein, jic magic, zeal, and a'pexi make real coilovers. anyway, you get what you pay for.
