With critical suspension componets such as coilovers it is best to stick with a higher quality brand.

If you do not believe me search the suspension forms and read reviews on brand name coilovers (Tein, JIC, Spoon) and compare them to lesser known names (Hayame).

fyi Skunk2 is not really a coilover, it is more of a pretend coilover. A true coilover has a matched shock with spring, and costs much higher say $800 and up.

Please read the suspension FAQ. It has a lot of useful info. Rule #1: You get what you pay for. Use the search feature and read the reviews.

Again, READ THE FAQ!!!! You are talking about Sleeved coilovers, which are just adjustable springs, not true coilovers with an integrated shock.
