    eBay Springs

    OK this is weird, there are all kinds of $10+ dollar springs / coilovers etc etc on ebay, I was just wondering if anyone has ever paid less than $20 for suspension like this and been happy with it?

    LOL revospec, Definetly No-Name and I understand the get what you pay for theory but if the car needs new suspension would it be better to just get OEM or this junk? Im not going to turn the Accord into a Racecar becuase I will have a Civic Si soon. Id like some opinions on this...

    remember one thing:
    YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!
    i would stay away form coil overs, most of them are too stiff for stock or even aftermarket struts. you better off go with well known brand and performance struts. it will cost you a lot more in the long run, but you will like the ride better.
    On average, lowering the car can cost you anywhere from $200 to $1000 or more depending on setup you want and the cost of the parts.

    I've got the DZ coilovers and i hate them. I have one that is totally compressed for no reason, and the rear ones just don't fit right. Planning on getting a different set next spring.
