Whaaaat? If they're have decent, I'm ordering some. Anyone had any experience with these? Or shall I be the first?

Steer away from those pieces of garbage. They only make the car look good. Ride quality is like being in a kangaroo's pouch. Either get good springs or shocks or get full coilovers. No matter what brand, they're bouncy as heck and eventually your shocks will blow. Ask me how I know.

Dude, I installed Dropzone coilovers when I was an ignorant kid and those things were so bad, I almost had a concussion when I ran over a pothole and I bouncef so hard, I hit my head with the roof and bent my neck. I got lightheaded and had to pull over. The springs are too skinny. They don't do anything. It's all on your shocks. People, save up for some real ones or some springs and shocks. I've wasted too much money on this car and would hate people to make my same mistakes. -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you
