    Highly likely that these coilovers are extreamly stiff. So stiff that to tame them would require the investment in special custom revalved Bilsteins or revalved Koni's. Still at $100 and adding in $630 or so for revalved Bilsteins your at around $730 . Go the other way and get better a better coilover that not near as stiff so you can avoid the spending so much on the sturts, meaning Ground-Controls. At least you can run them with standard Koni struts, you'll be looking at $424 + $339 = $763. Yes actually $33 more than doing the other combo, but you'll have allot less spring stiffness and better ride quality.

    And some people really need to make sure they HAVE to have a coilover system. Coilovers are allot less forgiving on ride quality since they use a different spring system than lowering springs and the stock springs use. Stock springs and lowering springs use progressive springs, where they have a softer initial spring rate that gets stiffer as the spring is compressed. Coilovers don't have this, they use linear springs that don't have the softer initial rate for ride comfort. The linear spring gives out it's full stiffness the moment weight is put on them. So make sure you NEED coilovers.

    One advantage to the linear spring is that are car with them will fell more responsive. Since they don't have a softer spring to get past before they get stiffer, thier always stiffer, ready for action.

    We have to remember that E-BAY shit is for the most part, cheap. At least the unknown or unpopular brands.
