They are that cheap for a reason. coilovers are awesome, but expensive. Maybe you can find some used?

Toss a couple hundred pounds of sand bags in the passenger seat and trunk. That is the only to cheaply lower your and it still isnt that safe.


Stock struts cannot handle any amount of drop. To have a safe car you need to spend the money. That "company" didnt put any time into researching if they springs were made properly or if the spring rates are correct.

It's going to be cheaper to find a used set of springs/struts. Coilovers are nice but you're much more likely to find a set of Pro-Kits or Goldlines for cheap. A 1.4" or 2" drop is not bad at all to daily drive with. I can't say for snow but I'm sure the roads in my area are comparable

Yeah I can speak from personal experience that the cheap ebay coilovers suck. The car felt like a violent pogo stick and the cheap upper spring perches cracked.

They are cheap, before I found this site on my old sedan I put these coilovers. Later in life I found the site, transformed to air ride and never looked back.

It would be nice to see what car they set the spring raes to for those cheap coil over kits. They are usually very stiff springs.
