CHECK these out...... Whatdaya think??
Look at these coilovers on eBay........ eBay
Has anyone heard of these? I have H&R Sport springs right now but I'm debating getting some coilovers 4 adjustablity. Let me know what u think about my situation, i'm always broke so i need a good deal, but I don't want crap that's worse than what I have.

The only input i have is that most of the time the cheap ebay coilovers are extremly bouncy. I'd say save up and get some skunks2's or ground controls.

Yeah don't do it... You may be able to lower but your ride quality will suck. Why would you ditch the H & Rs? What springs and struts are you using....?

Doh! When ever you do suspension on our cars you have to replace the shocks and struts with ones designed to handle the new springs.. If you don't very bad things will happen to your suspension things that will cost more to fix than if you put the time and money in it in the first place. My suspension is going to rip my account to shreads.... Close to $800.
 it will be worth it in the long run though.

Did you get your exhaust today, and rims yesterday? Snap some pictures of that when they are on and while your at it snap some of the teg console! How much did that mod cost you to do? I plan on doing that soon.

Ive seen DFarres car, and lemme say, its tight! The teg console looks really good, and his stereo setup really well. He mentioned the problem with the right strut when I talked to him also, the H+R's were also on the car when he got it.
By the way, my dad found out about my sub when he was looking in my car cause I borrowed his cordless drill, and he wasnt that mad, he thought it was stupid, but he didnt really trip. So I dont gotta hide that anymore which is a plus Well, 4hrs till the bidding ends on my HX rims, I hope nobody else bids one em cause right now they are only $66 and im still winning!

I get my exhaust for the second time today & I got my wheels yesterday (they look SWEEEET) I'll probably put them on tonite. The console was installed when I bought it but i'm gonna recover the arm rest soon with vinyl. I when to a fabric store on Monday and i found vinyl that matches my interior exactly.

cheap coilovers suck. i tried them on the Si. i'm not happy. i wish i still had the lowering spring i bought it with. i only have coilover so i can raise the car when it snows.
i'm thinking about putting spring on the 4 door and just parking it in the winter. or i might get some v-spec's coilovers again. they were $250 when i bought my first set 2 summers ago. with my luck they're now $350, lol ami
