um…you’ve spent at least $800 on wheels/tires i bet…and probably more than that on the body kit and painting it…
why cheap out now? sure you may say that this is a “temporary fix” until you save up for better suspension, but why even bother wasting the $40?
i’d just drive it how you have it until you can afford what you really want…just my .02…

you realize eBay is not a manufacturer right? that’s a pretty bad generalization statement to make.
$40 coilovers = no good

Even if they are a “brand name” they still might be bad. We get Emails from TiAL all the time showing the knock off TiAL products out there. They’re getting pretty good at imitating name brands.

:mamoru: $40 dollars for “coilovers” that have 3" of adjustment range? Oh yeah I’m sure they’ll be fine. Don’t forget the tornado fuel saver, fuel line magnet, and ECU resistor. Your car will accelerate like a corvette and handle like a Lotus.
Dude. Come on. You know that’s too good to be true. You can’t get decent springs alone for twice that. Your car will be flopping all over the place. It won’t be safe. Suspension’s important too. You wouldn’t put $20 dollar ebay brakes on your car just because it’s a daily driver would you?

“eBay” coilovers are an awful idea, you get what you pay for.
By that it usually means you get a cheap unreliable parts, that have improper rates for your car resulting in it handling worse than a fully loaded semi.
