Are these worth it? Or will they work badly and break quickly?

Shouldn't be a problem and its TUV approved as well as having a 2year warrenty. Price usually dictates the quality of the ride with coilovers but it'll do the job and some friends have these too, heard of no problems yet.

If you take a look at www.goofbay.com it gives you loads of useful little tools for use alongside ebay, one of those is an offer checker.

Had a look for this ebayer & it shows the lowest he's accepted for the £199 coilovers was £160. So thats £40 in your pocket! :lol:

So for less than £175, you will have a nice set of coilovers & a bargain!

Go for it, you know you want too!

Wait 'til after your hols, they obviously trade thru' quite a lot of them. You now know how low they'll go (much like a good set of coilovers! :lol: ) so you can look forward to a purchase when you are ready, post hols.

Goofbay have only recently introduced that Offer-Checker & its saved me a few quid, as every time I see Best Offer on an Ad now its straight on the checker! :lol:
