People who want their car to look low seem to think the Hottuning coilovers are shyte.  People who enjoy driving seem to avoid cheap tat like that like the plague.  If you enjoy driving get some proper struts and springs under your car instead.  Worth the extra over tat like that.

Got to be honest and say the ride when I set mine low was shocking.

hot tuning ones i brought last year for my vr6 were ok set at a normal level, say at standard height they were ok and offered a better ride to the standard shocks/springs... if your going mega low then there not the best (i tried and got fed up of bouncing....)... think you can get the same set up cheaper than that ebay price though

WTF?  Use low-spec coilovers renowned for poor damping on a track?  Are you a complete idiot or just posting like one?

I think he meant coilovers in general not the hottunning ones.

those coilovers are renowned for poor damping over bumps, they would be a lot better on track than road! maybe not the nurburgring though  :grin:
