I am interested in these coilovers but the price is scary. They are like 4 times cheaper then some brand name ones.
Can i hope that they wont fall apart on the road? )) Whats your experience with them?

I was originally thinking springs but h&r (thats the most popular, right?) spring cost more then those coilovers and coilovers seem to be better all around solution.
But what will give most comfortable ride?

Just realized i am seriously derailing thread as usual xD
Anyhow. My local spings dealer is confusing me.
Thats what i understood from him.
1. To lower your car you can buy springs or shock Absorbers (dampers?) or coilovers
His springs cost like $200, Shock absorbers are like $500 and coilovers are like $800
2. HOWEVER if you buy springs which lower your car more then 30mm (which rear springs do) you ALSO need to replace shock absorbers (dampers)
3. Coilovers is best of all 3 as far as i understood
but again... i am really confused.
So i guess i should just buy same coilovers as u did and save some money or wut =)
