I've seen many cheap coilover/spring sets on Ebay that claim they work, have 1-4 inches of drop etc. Are they worth it? It would be like $80 shipped lol, I've always thought cheap stuff is junk but who knows

CLICKY HERE FOR CHEAPOS

theres lots that are similar to this

*EDIT*

found these too:
another set

c'mon man, do we need to reply to this!!! you get what you pay for and if your cheap on your car then your cheap on life. Granted our cars arent the best in the world but at least spoil yourself and your car.

sportlines are awesome biggrin.gif

and yeah dont be cheap with the car, you pay for what you get. Its worth saving up and getting something that will last and work good. I personally love my sportlines, nice drop and the car feels great.

Why would you go coilover? They are not good for daily driving, only for racing / show.

here are eibach sportlines on tirerack.com, only 191$

sportlines

i wouldnt put anything cheap on my car. my thinking is might as well get quality products even if it means working harder or waiting longer.

also with the sportlines, make sure to get either an alignment kit or get a professional alignment following installation in order to prevent uneven tire wear caused by excessive camber. that and you dont want to look like a ricer who cut their springs smile.gif.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

that's kinda what i wanted to know too, bc i don't plan on autocrossing or anything until spring, i just kinda wanted a cheap set like that so i can see kinda what height i like the car at and things like that before dropping the money on a better suspension.
