do you think it's worth it?

35 for the springs and about 40 for shipping

coilovers for 75 is not bad can't hurt right?

Hey hotbox, don't those have issues with staying in when lifted, etc... Not trying to diss the product, just putting out the things I recall...

all coilovers for our vehicles will have that prob at full drop. but yeah that set of coilovers is cheaper than mine so good find. i'd say def worth it.

I don't want to rain on anyones parade but when someone describes the product as: THIS KIT IS LIGHT-WEIGHTED STRONG STEEL
and, THE KIT IS COATED WITH TITANIUM COLOR. I might second guess the item.

What is light weighted strong steel and what is titanium color coating?
I would not waste my money. Buy some real springs from a reputable company. Your life could depend on it.

I agree with Huskernow, you can get a good set of springs for about 50-60 more. You'll only get 2" of drop, but it will be a reliable drop. The rest of the drop you're gaining starts getting into the problem zone and IMO, is only needed when I'm sitting next to some other lowered Scions. Since I drive it more than I do that, my preference is to have it ride well and do it reliably, rather than try to make it look a little better at the expense of handling and performance. I guess it depends on your motivation and comfort level...

eh i'm not too worried bout safety i mean if anything could go worng they'd be sued for life. i'm fine with mine look for the black and red ones a lil higher quality maybe. but yeah watch out for broken english. if thats there fixin a prob would be harder to do versus a guy who has proper english. and about the ride i'm used to ____ty riding cars my previous cars have almost all been slammed. some with cut springs lol ghetto but it gets the look lol. i'm a cheap broke guy i do what i gotta do.

I'm glad you decided not to buy this.
I had similar coilover off ebay, for my last car, Celica. Worst ride ever. It looks dope, but it's just bad bad ride .... Just invest a little more for a known brand springs.
