    JDMCARBOY Coilovers? Good?

    If I bought these could I just put them on with stock struts and be fine?

              your stock shocks will blow, maybe not immediately, but prob. a month or two into having these installed on them. Plus I would think they're no better than Ebay specials. So I would vote no, don't get them. For a little more you can get good name brand lowering springs. But the only coilover sleeves I would put on are Ground Controls, which is what I have and am pleased to say they ride quite nicely. Springs are made by Eibach and are of good quality. They're around $300 but are worth it to me.

                You heard wrong. No coilover sleeve is good for stock shocks.

                    Thanks for all of the replies! I won't order them then. How much does it usually cost to buy new struts and change them? And if those aren't good coilovers then give me some links to some good ones please!
                    Thanks guys!

                      Good shocks will run you $350+.
                      As for good coilover sleeves: Skunk2 and Ground Control.

                      But, for the price of new shocks and good sleeves, you might as well buy true coilovers.

                        You could even try these. http://www.amazon.com/Megan-Racing-C...8769428&sr=8-1

                        THere better quality and name brand.... IMO, there better than ebay springs but everyone on this site has their own opinion.
