You don't want that. D2 or BCRacing.

Man those are like the old school skunk2 coilovers that didn't come with the full suspension system. Just shorter springs and the dial to lower them up and down. I am sure the ride would be like ****.

^ thats what it says, to be used with your current Struts and shocks...so yup these are just like Eibach with Dials to dial them down? hmm minus the whole stock strut shock thing, might not be a bad buy if you plan to change the later ones for a more "supporting" components.

that's junk for sure, they can't even get the chasis correct and I bet they don't even know the spring rates.

u mind as well cut your oem springs if your going to ride those.

stick to BC coils or eibachs. BC charges a bit more but you get great customer service.

ill look into the bc coils.. not a fan of eibachs. Had 2 previous sets on 2 dif cars and both were ****. i was just lookin at coilovers on ebay and came accross those cheap *** ones, i would never put them on my car, you get what you pay for when it comes to susp.

if these are anything like the ones that are sold for other vehicles(like hondas), they will quite literally fall out when the car is placed on a 2 post lift. I heard about that happening with e-bay coilovers before.

I always wondered....Do people just not like the Meagans? I thought they are basically the same as BCRacing?

naw, they are good coilovers, but the rebuild parts i believe are few and far between which people fall away from, but supposedly they ride nice
