Well, just curious to know if any of this stuffs at all reliable. (for daily driving at least)

I get confused when I see price jumps so large

like, are these anything good for what, $60?? vs others that are 180, 800+??

Those are coilover sleeves, not full coilovers. Stay far away. Get a an aftermarket set of shocks and springs or a good entry level coilover.

they will make your car so crap so fast you’ll be like “woah, awesome.”

if you want a car you love and enjoy, get ready to spend money on good stuff

whenever i see a j-body or a 4-door EG civic rolling down the street, hit a dip, and see the entire black-widow body kit (including ram air hood) of the vehicle flop forward and backward for another 10 seconds seemingly attached the chassis on some type of lever system i say… man, those are sweet coilover sleeves.

on stock struts too eh?

pure awesome.

this is the definate truth, if thats your pride and joy why buy cheap sh\*t, dont get me wrong, ive definatly looked on ebay for good deals, but its not worth cutting corners, in the long run, you would end up spending way more money than you planned on,

on a side note, does anybody know if the megan shifter is as good as the b&m, it says that its a direct duplicate, but im a little skeptical about it, the b&m apparently used to vibrate at certain rpms, but they claim to have fixed the prob and theres no more vibration, im wondering if the megan shifter vibrates alot???

pure low quality rice, you’ll probably end up killing a mini van full of toddlers if you tried to run those.

I have good pricing on many quality brands such as stance, PM me if you have the dough and you want the right parts for your car.

The megan shifter is a C’s type, it is nothing like the B&M piece.

lucid was saying that to, but pdm-racing has it listed as a “direct copy” of the b&m, thats why i asked, check it out, just scroll down a bit till you see the megan shifter,

im probly just gonna get the megan one anyways, b&m is just paying for the name mostly
