im looking for an effect way to lower my cb on a low budget does anyone trust ebay parts

No. eBay suspension/ no name brand suspension should not be trusted. Don't cheap out on suspension; or you will be putting you and everyone around you on the road in danger. Save up your money and buy from a good quality company. -
EBay is a marketplace not a manufacturer.
If you're talking about the $50 coilover sleeves on eBay then no the vast majority of the people here will pass. Truhart and lotek are also considered junk, skunk2, d2 are as well.
The cheapest way would be f&f type 1 coilovers but then the odds are you'll have to refresh the entire suspension from tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, camber camber kits depending how low you want to go and then there's bushings that are probably worn out and an alignment when all is said and done...
Brands like koni, h&r, neuspeed, tein, tanabe, eibach, ground control are the most trusted ones when it comes to our cars because they take the time to research and develop.
Read over the suspension section especially the stickies for more info.
Good luck

Just added some info, ground control does not actually make their springs, they are purchased through eibach for their coilovers.Originally posted by Jking72 View PostEBay is a marketplace not a manufacturer.

Do yall by chance now anything about the set jdmcarboy.com has its 80 bucks they are just lowering springsComment

There are a million companies like that on eBay selling the same low quality trash that will get you and whomever else is riding in the car possibly killed. If you can't afford real parts, especially when it comes to suspension, wait til you can.'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq

Alright well any recommendations on brand and could I only get springsComment

Tein, Ground Control, Neuspeed, etc there's a vast number of brands.
Springs that are too aggressive will blow your OEM shocks if they aren't bad already and you will have a bouncy yet harsh ride. It will only look good standing still.'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq

What would be a good spring rate for a nice ride I know im asking alot I just wanna make sure I'm not going to get something too softComment

The spring rate you want all depends on what you plan on using the car for. How low do you want to go? What will be the main purpose of the car? (low and slow, just somewhat lowered, occasional track day, etc).
If you are replacing the springs, you need shocks to pair with them as well. Stock shocks will be pretty much useless in a matter of days if you put lowering springs on them. Expect to spend around $450+ for a quality suspension setup.Comment

A solid choice for a budget setup would be Koni STR.Ts and Eibach Pro springs.Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

I am trying out Vogtland springs, not a crazy drop but changes the look a bit and if you look around it can be had for about $160 shipped. Have yet to test them since I am still on jack stands but I have heard many good things.Be unique, like every other person.
