Nope. just those, and other noname brands on e-bay ect.
If you want sleeved coilovers go woth Ground control or skunk-2. Or if you can afford it go with the tien-ss full coilovers.

To reply to everyone.. The ride was horrible of course and on top of that the noise they made was horrible. I replaced them with goldlines and the look is great and the ride is just like stock. I am now a huge fan of goldline suspension products!!!

I had em on my car for about 2 weeks, they were the worst thing i ever bought. Rode horrribly. Every car with a set of sleeve coilovers ive ever ridden in has had a horrible ride. Springs are the way to go. Dont fool yourself and say that you are going to ride em one height during the week and slam it on the weekend or for shows, because you wont. It's not 'poor mans adjustable suspension (meaning air or hydraulics)' like everyone thinks. All sleeve kits have short springs and hard spring rates to allow so much adjustability.
