   As above, I would avoid them. Cheap suspension isnt something you want to be running on your car.
   
   Also you will ultimately end up spending more buying lots of cheap parts than if you spent a lot on decent coilovers.
   Worth spending couple hundred more and getting something like a Gaz setup.

   Best off building your own if you understand spring rates and sizes or paying big money on gaz of h&r then really
