My 10 cents worth , yes they are cheap , but you are getting what you payed for ( maybe ???? ) . I ran them on a Soarer TT hill climb car a while ago , adjustment was vague , spring rate where too firm ( they did swoop to a lower rate ) and I blew several inserts very quickly ( they did replace while under warranty , product had only just come out and they where trying hard to get a good name ) .
So while I would not fault the seller ( definitely honored his commitment ) , the product is definitely not the best , if handling is important to you then I would save my money to something better.

they're $900 for a reason, they don't spend money on r&d and quality parts, in my opinion you're better off running a shock/spring setup with better dampers than by buyin cheap shit coilovers, then buy proper coilovers when funds allow

Buy some KYB shocks, and some 2nd hand decent rate springs.

Those coilovers are a waste of your money and time.

Modifying cars is properly is not cheap. Im a student too and yes it sucks having no money.

thank you guys :) i know for 900 a hull set of coilovers would have to be cheap, just kinda looking for experience with them, will most probably go with a spring and shock setup till i get off my P plates and do my 4age swap.

cheers, khai
