Just save your cash and do it once, those coils are absolutely horrible quality, I know one person who had them for a bit and the ride was horrible.

Re: Ebay Coliovers

Thought so. Thanks for the advice. What would you rather use, Lowering springs or Coilovers?

Kinda depends on what your goin for doesn't it? If its just for looks around town pick a trusted brand with a height that you can afford. If its for performance id say start researchin.

But coilovers if cost permits : )

Re: Ebay Coliovers

I'd rather use coilovers, but your stepping up to a higher price bracket going that route.

Ground Controls are excellent coilover sleeves, but cost around $350.

There are a ton of good spring manufacturers; H&R, Eibach, Neuspeed and Tein are just a few examples and you could get them for around $200.

Springs: I would say gold line or eibach. Coilover sleeves; skunk2 or ground control, full coilovers: d2, Megan, tein, ksport. Cheap good coilovers: rokkor, funtion form, raceland

I have eBay coilovers and I have friends that have them too!! And we have done some testing with this whole name brand vs eBay bs and I am glad to say just because it says it's eBay. Doesn't mean it's made by eBay!! And also they make the car ride just the same as any other coilovers. Only time things start riding real stiff is when u pretty much have it just barely driving over a pop ca type of deal! And when u only drop the car like 2inches it's not as stiff but coilovers are stiffer them your factory springs no matter how high or low the car sits.
