skunk2 coilovers for 2001

i recently started looking in to lowering my car a couple inches. I've decided on coil overs, that way i can adjust the ride height when needed. I saw a set of "red" (which is what i want) SKUNK2 coilovers on ebay. If i can get it for 120 at most im going to take it. what do you guys think? i want the best i can get but im on a low budget... do you think the skunk2 coilovers for our 2001 is good enough?

any suggestions?

Most Sleeves are garbage. They're cheap and make a lot of noise
Coilovers are awesome. They're expensive and work like a fine tuned watch.

These are sleeves:

These are coilovers:


1 is 4-7 times more expensive than the other. They may claim to be the same thing... no friggin way.

sleeve coilovers are for the people that don't intend on having their car forever because they tend to mess up your suspension over time. i have the skunk2 coilovers and i'm pleased with them and got what i expected and what i wanted, mine don't make any noise.

if you plan on keeping this car for a while, save up and buy a true coilover set up, if not, skunk2's

They're not Koseis, they're Esses Speedmasters and I don't have tires on the rims yet as the picture shows. So wait a few weeks till its all put together
