I wouldn't trust them in a heartbeat. Not because I have never heard of the product or the fact that I don't know anyone who runs them... no, rather for the use of Comic Sans font. Not to mention the overly abundant "MUST BUY ME" superior bestest quality approach.

Happy B-Day btw.

You can get a set of Tein Basics for only a couple hundred more...

spring rate looks good.
the problem with cheepness is its cheep.
the springs may not retain rate for very long, rust, break................... a hole list of things.
the big thing i wanted when getting a set of coilovers was a dampner/ rebound adjustment, it makes all the difference in the world.
