yea...NO! unless you like putting yourself or other people in danger with some type of failure..
i've seen a kit like that in person. it looks scary in the box itself. i wanted to smack the kid that thought they were cool and fit on his Accord.

Apparently, in Honda circles, super-cheap coilovers are all the rage. I don't think springs are something that should be cheaped-out on. It's just not worth it. Sure, you can't fault someone for trying to get a good deal, but there's a difference between that and just plain cutting corners.

it's only a sleeve kit similar to ground controls, but those sell for 400ish i think. i am sure the quality of material is far less than ground control, but sometimes you pay for the name.

If you look at the site you will see they are aluminum sleeves.
The biggest problem I have seen with them are that the soft metal "cups" at the end making it real hard to get off, cause you'll need to get them off before they break totally causing serious problems

I installed a set of cheapies like these for a kid after I told him it wasn't a good idea. He told me to do it anyway. His truck actually ended up being 1.5 inches taller then it was with the stock springs. And that was at the lowest setting for the new coil overs.
I wouldn't do it dude.
