You get what you pay for. I personaly would never buy a no name coil over, especially one for 39 bucks. Go for it if you want them but I would nt ever put anything like that on my car.

The ride qaulity on those is most likely total ****.

If you want crappy ride quality and premature strut failure, go for it! Coilover Sleeves are great if you don't plan on driving your car (show), or you drive like Morgan Freeman in Driving Miss Daisy.

I wouldn't put my life on those no-names.

i have junk2's and i wish now that i would never have spent the money on the...save up about 150 and get some good lowering springs. thats my next plan...and think about it this way, how many times are you going to adjust your coil-overs...over the year that i've had mine i have only adjusted them 2 times.

Ground controls with a high quality shock will outperform most of Tein's lineup, if not all of tein's line up, esp if you know what you're doing with the custom spring rates.

Shortened and revalved Koni yellow's will probably outperform a JIC or Buddy Club setup, or at the very least perform just as well.

nah...yes they look all nice and flashy, but nice and flashy is sometimes a coverup for CRAP!! $35 bucks...save another 100 and see if you can get a deal on some eibachs or something...Better off cutting or waiting...I personally wouldnt cut, but its much better than some cheap bed-springs haha...
