I didnt say they were great or even good for that matter, however they are a HUGE upgrade from stock or dropsprings and are a awesome coilover FOR THE PRICE. I got mine for 500 shipped new and they ride better than my buddies' k-sport slide control($1000) and megan track/streets($850).
For people that want a daily, ride height adjustable, occasionally tracked suspension setup, i would highly recommend them. I hate when people hear ebay and start talking shit, they do have a bad name with most but out of THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE godspeed coilovers i have never heard a bad review. People dont expect them to be Tein super drifts. I will somewhat agree with you on "you get what you pay for" but look at all of the coilovers that are one step above godspeed from $700-few$1000, godspeed can compete.
What does it matter if they started out on ebay or arent a "reputable company" to you.
I didnt come here to start a pointless argument, if you dont agree then atleast post something helpful to the thread instead of "Godspeed sucks."
