it depends. In a word? No!

Those are ridiculously cheap looking, and priced. I think there was a guy on here a few weeks back who bought them, he only installed one, and his wheel went all the way up into his wheel arch and was rubbing his whole drive home because he installed the one at his friends house.

Disclaimers.
Always read them, these are stiff as hell, someone else got them and complained asking why are they so stiff.


Also, if you want good coil overs expect to spend big money, not sub 100$ prices.

Performance either beuty is cheap,

Anyhow, coilovers suck. I would preferred to get some lowering springs.

Coilovers are a choice, don't necessarily suck, though they would suck for the road conditions where I live, also the fact that we get about 10 metres of snow per winter. Where bstylz lives it looks as if it is rather flat and tropical, he should be fine. But definitely, when it comes to suspension, do not go with eBay stuff, unless you have a deathwish. I am not saying you can't find good stuff on Ebay, I am only saying just don't buy the generic eBay parts.

I'd stay well away from those. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, and when it comes to suspension it's definitely not worth cutting corners.

Besides, this disclaimer doesn't sound very promising:

"This item is produced for off-road or show purpose only. This item is not suitable for regular driving. User must follow the direction given and any misuse of this product is at his/her own risk.

Those are not real coilovers, but only coilover sleeves that fit to the shock. They are a poor way to lower the car. I recommend some real performance springs, such as the Tein S-Techs from the 8th gen Corolla. They are $150 on Ebay and work great.

Install them yourself and use the $175 to use towards something better.
