coilover conversion kit?

I was wondering if anyone have tried, or know someone who has/had one of these kits. Do they work? How's the ride quality?http://www.ground-control-store.com/...hp/II=70/CA=93

Not a single person I know installed those.
Every single person I know say its garbage.

At some point I ordered those for my previous car, just for sh*ts and giggles (was $80, we split the cost with my curious buddies) - when I opened the box they looked like they were made for a toy car - sooooo tiny and fragile looking. I did not end up installing them, but Im sure you can do it. Get them and let us know about the results! (after you blow your struts)

yea i do, full coilovers, i've gotten rid of the springs and struts...from local to local...get the real coilovers...i wouldnt suggest getting coilover sleeves and struts unless you had a little honda. get a full set of coilovers. brand new i think D2s are about 800 and BCs are 900...i would personally get the BCs..absolute best bang for your buck man. lemme know though, we can meet up this weekend and you can see if you like how they ride. at least you'll know before you drop the money in it
