They look far too cheap to be any good to be honest.

looks like a sh!t idea if you ask me, if you want coilovers just buy some and not some cheap crap that will probably break  :laugh: :laugh:

Buy Eibach springs, or if you want to go lower coilovers...starting at around £500

"Works with stock shocks"

Not a good sign, its just gonna put your original components under stress they weren't designed to cope with, as its just the springs in this "kit" Follow the advice above. Get some proper coilovers as they have matched dampers that enhance your performance and won't wreck your car!

If you want some decent entry level coilovers get onto the German eBay and look for the shop Formel K. Their coilovers are meant to be quite good and are around £2-220 delivered at current exchange rates.
