ive seen some coilovers on ebay that are just over £200
seems cheap to me just wondered has anyone used them before and are they any good?
or would i be better off buying some second hand adjustables with 60mm springs.

ill get in here quick before every one slates them, i have just fitted a brand new set and seem good so far and there slammed. i had to take the back cup adjuster things out as it still didnt go low enough, but the springs and front shocks seem good !

not too solid to make you cringe but solid enough to make it handle alot better then stock !

being honest i wouldn't bother...they only go 60mm down so might aswell just buy springs :?

link to kit?

Are they full strut replacements on the front, or weld-on collar kits?
