They are no good. Lets just say you buy them, price is (est. here) $130 more or less. Ok so you spend the money get them put them in and your happy then after a few months, if even that they turn to shit, or as 94lsteg said "they will sag". Well now you need new ones and you dont want to go with ebay now, so now you spend the $280 on getting those skunk2's. so total now on coilovers you have spent $410!!! Just be patient and save $280 for the skunk2s . Hope i've helped in some way g/l!

i have some inexpensive ones called matrix with tokico blues in the front and stocks in the rear, this is on a 91 hatch. got them from summit paid $150 at the time they are $120 now they ride pretty decent but looking to upgrade to some omni power full coil overs soon. no complaints or issues with the ones i got just looking to go better. save your money, spend it and get your money's worth.

for 35$ my ebay no name coil-overs are working good, it's just temporary. But get the skunk2 or Tein, it WILL be worth the wait saving up IMO.
