i'd rather run stock either of those.

seriously....

no seriously, those first ones look like toys.

wow, another one of these. Save your money and your life and stop buying coilovers off of ebay. They are cheap for a reason. Its just like helmets. If your head is only worth $30 then buy a $30 helmet.

**edit** $400 more you can PBM's shipped to your front door and actually have a set of good coilovers

Quoted for truth!

Your coil overs are your single most important piece of your suspension. Why would you want to cheep out on them?
If you just want to be low cut your springs and hard park it.

I know I am going to get flame for this, but I thought i'll put it out there. I bought some Godspeed 16 way adjustable, and ignor what everyone said, thinking I would get away with it, with in two months on driver rear and passenger front is leaking oil, this is daily driving didnt even get to see track yet.

I got these on ebay from a seller that said they honor 1 year warranty, contact the seller and Godspeed they didnt want to deal with it. worst money ever spend..

Or you could get some sleeve overs and some agx kybs and you would have some hight adjustment and then some adjustment on the shock/strut as well. That would be fairly inexpensive.
