Are these any good?

For that price, I'd stick with Megans. And I don't even think Megans are good.

what is your definition of "good"?

if you want to gauge how much a company knows about its coilovers (and suspension in general), if they mention the word "dampening" in reference to their coilovers adjustment abilities... then you should probably steer clear of them!

unless of course you like your coilovers "moist" and all.

I agree with Dorki, not a good choice unless you dont like your car. In that case buy them.

Sadly I have them on my car. I haven not ridden on them yet, but they are identical in form to Isis HR Pro and Godspeed Mono RS coilovers, which seem to have decent street manners. I had to put 6" springs on the front to go as low as I needed.

We'll see how much I regret/don't regret the decision when I drive it. Honestly man, save up your cash and spend it on something name brand. I always recommend FEAL to people (should have taken my own advice, haha), because Odi is a super cool guy and actually sets up his own S14.

Here's another review:

6" Stance vs. 7'" J2 spring.

PoorMan, why didn't you just take off the front locking collars? Would have given you that extra inch if not more.

You would think so, but it did not. I tried pulling one collar, and then both. Trust me, the shorter springs were the only thing that worked, the picture doesn't show the length difference very accurately.
