A link would be helpful, we aren't mind readers

But for that price they more than likely will be 'not very good' **

Yes I found them fine for the price paid,


But you normally get what you pay for I have found over the years.

I got some cheapo fk ones mate about a month or two back and to be honest they're a ball ache, they are okay but if your looking to go really low don't bother buy some expensive ones because they dont go as low as i thought. Also the ride can be horrible at times and as above you get what you pay for mate.

All depends how low you would like to go tbh,

IMO anymore than 60mm coilovers other wise shocks and springs.

i've had ebay cheapo coilovers for over 18 months and other than quite a firm ride (which i like) there's nothing wrong with them, never had a problem, never gone wrong or broken etc...

What He Said

i had a problem with a set once, (after about a year and half) they were like yer yer we will replace but can you get a garage report to confirm there at fault not the car, as soon as i emailed them the report (from a legit garage) i never ever got a response back. Rolling Eyes
