Close enough. The coilovers we're talking about are sleeve types; springs with adjustable ride height that work with separate shocks. The idea of the sleeve coils is that they're adjustable, and allow for a big drop, or stock ride height. They're popular because they're cheap and versitle. Examples of the "good" would include Ground Control. Examples of the bad would include most of the E-Bay stuff.

Unless you want a large drop or the adjustability of coils, I don't understand why people don't buy used Eibach Prokits.

Well i didn't get no Kyb or tekico (how ever you spell it) but i got some
Monroe Shocks all 4. The reason why i got that brand is because my dad owns his own auto repair shop and the company that he orders his parts from gave us those. its Monroe Shocks and its black. I dont think its the gas kind tho.
