eBay coilevers..what u think of um?

I have a 94 XE. I want a nice dropped look to the car until i get some money for agx`s and h&r`s this summer. So i been on ebay and noticed those coilovers that provide a 4 inch drop. I was plannin on buyin them but i dunno. I want them for the "drop" look and not performance-wise. Sh!t for 70$ i dont think u can go wrong, or am i wrong? The installation will be free so i will spend 70$. what u guys think worth it or no?

Re: eBay coilevers..what u think of um?

never heard of either
I'd be skeptical of them even fitting, and even more skeptical that they wouldn't completely screw up the car or blow the shocks a weeks after you installed them (not sure how this would be possible, but you'd be surprised how badly cheapo manufacturers can screw up).

Re: eBay coilevers..what u think of um?

I`ve seen bomz racing but motoraz i dunno. How would the coilovers blow the shocks? I seen people with ebay coilovers before. I was plannin on gettin them juss for temporary or prolly till they die out cuz i`m lookin at a 91 se-R right now. Plus it says comes with all necessary hardware to install properly. I`m not sure, guess i juss gotta get more info eh.

the stock shocks were not meant to ride 4 inches lower all the time. and I hope you mean the two diff companies provide their each set of four becuase you never wanna mix that kind of stuff. plus 4 inches is a lot. the wheel itself might not be able to turn completely w/o hitting the body of the car. (I know there's a name for that but I can't think of it)

Re: eBay coilevers..what u think of um?

well i`m not plannin to keep it to the lowest level always juss for like a day or so or when i feel like it. I would prolly keep it dropped a inch or two when juss drivin around...maybe even stock height. I`m not plannin to abuse it juss drive normal. The roads up here aint so bad either. I was juss thinkin that it would look sick. Plus i have 13'' stock rims on my car lol. The gap between the rim and fenders are like 4 or 5 inches. ohh yeh its two different companys with a set made for the car each. no mix n matchin B/S. If ur wonderin why 13`s its cuz makes the car quicker i hear cuz theres rotation or sumthin. I`m lookin at 15`s or 16`s for the summer. Damn i hate suspension crap...to complicated i like motors lol
