Step 1: Open lid on trash can.
Step 2: Hurl ebay coilovers into trash can.
Step 3: Go buy some RM/Hypercoils and some agx's and wish you hadnt wasted $40 on some ****ty coilovers.

its the fact that everyone on here bashes the **** outta of him and being sarcastic about it, laugh about it and what have you. i understand the danger and someone could just say its dangerous my advice is not to run them. but all the people here are just plain assholes. if he wants to run it then let him. going ahead poke that stick in my butt. lol.

The spring rates on those are super stiff, since they are made to fit into several cars, including very heavy cars they have crazy spring rates like 600F / 400R . It for sure is not going to be a nice ride on a street car.

+1 from me. My boy had a set of those. He said it looked cool, but rode like poopoo. Plus his struts blew out too. So yeah. Save your pennies and get something good that will last the life of the vehicle. Read the suspension thread on the other forum. I think ShawnB did a write up on suspensions for our cars, really great stuff.
