Dunno about those specific ones, but I think the general thinking around here with coilovers is that you get what you pay for. There have been a few horror stories with eBay coilovers.

Like what kind of horros stories?? These guys make coilovers for ferraris, and Porche's and what not so im sure they must be half decent?? A coilover is a coilover right?? What could go wrong with it they are brand new and come with a lifetime warranty!! Frig i thought for 42$ you couldnt go wrong !!

CRAP.

Also: Where do they say they make suspension for ferrari's/etc... All I see is some goober web "designer" yanking photos off the web to that crappy site.

I'm sure the perch is just fine, but it's the springs that come with those cheap sets that kill you. They are usually pretty soft from what I've read.

VAOS coil-overs look like they use non-standard (and non-linear) springs, too, so if you don't like the rates that they come with...

On the other hand, they have been in business "for more than five years" (or, so they say).

But, then again, as a useful contrast, some of my after-market suspension parts have been on my car for that long.

eBay is so confusing.

I guess there no good then and it says on there that they do make suspension kits for ferrairs and what not but its ok i got my answer and thanks guys!!!
And for the 400-2000$ I dont know y maby because of Quality buddy Anyways i will try em and if no good then ill sell them And the way i look at it is a coil over is a coilover meant to do one thing lower the car!! I can think of a place for teh other 1900$

exactly! so a coilover isnt just a coilover

If your making an all show no go car then yes a coilover is a coilover. However when you start to get into handling there is a BIG diference in the type of coil over you buy. Spring rates height adjustment and so on and so on.

You may only spend $42, but you'll also spend the better part of a day installing them. Then you'll spend another $50+ dollars getting the car aligned. Then if you realize you don't like them for some reason, you'll spend another day or 2 taking them off and putting whatever your replacement setup is on. Then another alignment. Also, threaded sleeve type coilovers are usually designed to work with a specific shock. What shocks are these designed to work with? Are you planning on using your stock shocks?

 

[airbrat]

did you end oup getting these? I sure would like to hear some kind of feedback about the ride quality on these coilovers. I also was thinking about getting these but unlike many of you I'm not a hardcore racer and anything is better than the shitty eibach sportline springs that I have now. Those things are literally killing my back!

Na it a take about 2 hours tops to put them on my buddy owns a garage and has car lifts that make it alot quicker along with a garage has wheel alighnment so ya maby 50$ for using it for the afternoon!
Umm i allready had about 5 people trying to get me to sell them but i have to see how they work on my car may not be fully completed unt ill 2005 so i may have to wait a while to try them !!
Alot of stuff to get done in a year !!
I think they will be fine! I am goin to use my stock struts untill they blow

If all you want is looks you should just cut your springs for free.
