Cutting the original springs would be a much better option than fitting that shite

I take it you just want coilovers just for the looks (stance)?? & not handling??

If you want the car to both look good & handle properly then go for a decent shock & spring kit such as h&r, bilstien, koni etc,

Don't bother with cheap coilovers as they are a steeming pile of shyte & will ruin the handling & as nobby says, fook up a few sumps.

Proper coilovers are £1k+ not £200+.

At the end of the day its your choice but I know where my money would be going.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)
