From what I've heard from people, its not a good idea to get cheap suspension parts, well at least stuff thats not from a reputable manufacturer, most of the time at least. Since it really doesn't say who the kit is made by, I'd be a little skeptical of its quality.

i WOULD NOT waste your money on those


they make the ride very very bouncy and the coilovers slip all time which means you could have different ride heights for all 4 wheels.


i think coomer has a set of these just sitting at his house.

i am sure he will give em to ya for less than 46 bucks since they are worthless

you get what u pay for when buying cheap off-name sh!t from ebay. heard nothing but horrible things about these.

edit: think about it? if they were halfway decent why wouldnt EVERYONE have those instead of paying 3-4x as much?

I've had Eibach Sportlines for about 2 years and love them. Its about an inch and a half drop or so, enough to get rid of the gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. Handling improved significantly too and ride quality isnt that bad either. I highly recomend them.

Glad to see that you made the right choice. I do in fact have those coilovers just sitting in my garage right now, as they are far, far worse than stock. They're so bouncy and dangerous that they shouldn't even be sold.

I don't remember how much exactly I paid because it was a while back and I don't have my receipts with me here but I just checked www.nopionline.com to see what they sell them for and it is $235.46. You might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else if you shop around, that's just the only place I looked just now.
Also, make sure that you get your car alligned and you camber adjusted after you lower your car because that will be way off (especially the camber) after you lower it. If you don't do that, then your tires will wear unevenly and your car won't handle like its supposed to.

Ok, not sure if this helps but I just did my suspension and used the sportlines and gr'2. Some say the gr2's arnt that great but i like the ride alot, i was kinda hopping for more of a drop in the front but its good... I spent 202 for the sportlines that was 202 shipped. go those from http://www.lightningmotorsports.com/eibach.htm and go the gr2's i think for under 200 from tire rack, and got them like 2 days after I ordered them........

You can get 4 KYB's and Sportlines at www.tirerack.com for under 400.
