   hi, i was thinking of getting some coilovers after seeing a few sets on ebay for very cheap, about £160, will these be shite?
   And is there a mahoosive differance between coilovers and shocks and springs for ride comfort etc?
   i am not all that botherd about going any lower than 40mil and just didnt want to waste my money on some crappy ebay stuff..
   
   cheers...

   they are very heavy for a start. Its amazing the difference between high end components when compared to low end stuff.
   By the way, all those budget kits are the same but rebranded: jamex, raceland etc
   Save some money for a bit and raise you budget, in the long run you will be happier
