    has anyone here used them? or known of anyone that has used them? looking at other coilovers, these are the cheapest full coilover that ive seen ($770 shipped Ebay)

    i don't need tons of damping settings or anything crazy, but iirc these have 4way(just enough to learn the differences) I just want somthing sporty and stiff(daily driven) looking at Strut/Spring setups, id be spending similar money, but i dont want to buy crap ether

    I'm going to hazard a guess that you should stay away from these. At least when it comes to shocks, you tend to get what you pay for.

    Springs are a slightly different story.

    Evaluate your needs. Frequently one of the cheapest ways to go is to get decent shocks, a set of e-bay coilover sleeves, and then to source 2.5" springs that are appropriate to your needs.

    If you want adjustable dampers, buy konis. KYB AGX is good with stock springs, not so much with stiffer/lower ones. Real coilovers will be more like $2500+

    I've had GREAT experiences with KSports, and they can typically be had for under $1000.

    Now.... i'm not going to say that they're the best out there... but for somone that doesn't have the scratch to shell out for konis, ground controls, and new strut mounts, they're a great alternative.

    I'm going with them again for the Celica. They will supply whatever spring rate you ask for at no additional charge, as well.
