hi guys just wanted some input about these coilover springs?

are they any good?
straight swap for standard springs?
are they comfy to drive with?

Those are crap.

I wouldn't trust my life to cheap suspension parts.

Save your money and get Ground Controls instead if you want coilover sleeves.

trust me DONT get them.
I had ones similiar to the first ones and they ride like SHIT
they blew my struts to shit they bent my lateral bars on the rear of the car
they bounce on every tiny bump

get some KYB GR-2 Gas struts and your choice of lowering springs

I will have to agree with these posts, I have owned a set of coilovers like these, had them on a 94 civic hatch and wasnt exactly the greatest thing, I would save up and get a good set of struts and springs, remember this golden rule when buying suspension products ,
1 What are my daily driving habits
2. How do I enjoy ride comfort
3. How often will I adjust my suspension settings (honestly) because coilovers are a lot of work to get them right, if you dont enjoy hours of tweaking your ride do not get an adjustable suspension
Hope this helps
