    from the looks of the price i'ma say no, they probably aren't any good.
    You get what you pay for

    and when I googled the name all I got back was ebay matches.

    Suspension is not something to go cheap on, your car is riding on it

      ^^^very true

      and you can afford some kyb gr2's for not much more than those are selling for

      many people will argue that gr2s are just like oem replacement, but its another one of those ongoing debates

      i say gr2s are good for your car unless youre completely slamming your shit. other than that, kyb stated they are safe for lowered cars

                  For a cheap but better than stock (lil stiffer), I like the Tokico HP. I have them on my red Accord with H&R sport springs and have no complaints for daily driver. I have 26,XXX miles on them with no issues.

                    I agree with Cisco...everything I've read in all my research says that the HP is a great budget strut for running lowering springs. It's the way I would go if I were to lower my mom's car. You just lack ability to tune it to your liking.

                    I'd still caution against using GR-2's on a dropped car. Everything I've researched says the GR-2 is essentially a replacement strut, and won't last.

                      The gr-2's work for lowered cars, but they don't give you the same performance a adjustable shock would. For ride comfort it is pretty decent after about 15k on my drop. The only problem I've had with the gr-2's is slowing down for dips and speedbumps because if you go too fast the front end dives down resulting in a horrible sound everyone hates. But I'd still advise going with an adjustable shock like koni yellows, tokico illuminas, or kyb agx.

                        Very true

                        and remember, DO NOT get rid of the bump stops....
                        you'll regret it(i did)

                        good luck on your set up

                            I dont know about there shocks/struts but I got there springs and they ride pretty good. I think they are actually based in the states tho
