Might want to read disclaimers first.

Also, any coil over lowering kit you get is going to be stiff and uncomfortable.

Most springs can take a week or so to bed in, but with cheap coilovers designed for looks first and functionality second, you'll get looks first and ride quality second.

Even the higher-end coilovers (K-Sport, Tein) are reportedly fairly stiff unless you take the time to make sure the spring rates are more or less in the same ballpark as OEM. Which may be tricky since the stock springs are progressive and the only company I know of that makes a progressive performance spring was Eibach (their Pro-Kit was a straight copy of TRD springs) and they no longer offer it for our cars.

Those aren't coil overs, those are cheap shit adjustable springs.

People should read the disclaimer before buying anything...
It specifically said offroad use only, and with any lowering kit unless you can adjust spring rate your gonna have a stiff ride

You get what you pay for when it comes to suspension. Those are complete junk.

If you want ride comfort and ability to slam your car, pony up the cash for Ground Controls + Koni Yellows.
