So yeah, i can get these brand new for $250 canadian shipped. Anyone ever use these or hear of any praise/complaints? I don't wanna get ripped off but i think it's a good deal.

I suppose it's not a bad deal, but I'm always skeptical of brands like arospeed. Additionally for just a cheap coilover sleeve (instead of a true coilover with an integrated damper that can also be height adjusted) you are still limited in the available height you should drop the car while staying in a usable damping range for the shock (unless you get some short strokes, in which case it doesn't make sence to use cheap coilovers). Honestly, if you don't plan to corner wieght it, and would like to retain decent dampening. just get some 1.5" or less drop springs and some KYB AGX's or something.
If all you want is a low ride for cheap and don't care how it handles gets the arospeeds and kiss your dampers good bye.
There's plenty of other suspension threads you can find that may influence your decision, but basically everyone who has gone lower than 1.5" regrets it if they were concerned with handling.
