          Yes they will lower your car. No they will not ride good. No they are not a good buy. If you just want to lower your car for the time being then yeah they'll suffice. Me personally, i've never lowered a car so I have no first hand experience with it. But i've read enough and EVERYONE says that they suck. It WILL lower your car but from what i've seen/read so far you should just save your money and buy some reputable shit.

                      they are not the same thing....i highly doubt skunk2 or eibach send these chinese companies springs and let them sell them for 1/10 the cost and let them paint them a different color.

                            I found KYB shocks (struts) but they seem a lil expensive, is it worth the money? :
                            That's the thing. Ebay is not a parts manufacturer. "Ebay" springs can be cheap, low-quality crap that can put your life at risk, or they can be quality components. Sprint springs are not a no-name brand. Sprint makes good products.


                            KYB GR2s are stock replacement, and they are about as cheap as you're going to get for shocks that will withstand a drop for any reasonable amount of time. KYB AGX are a bit more performance oriented, but any drop more than 1.5" voids their warranty. They tend to make any drop a bit higher than it should be, and I've known them to blow out more easily than other performance shocks (I blew one myself on a pothole... it was a wicked pothole, though...)

                            Koni Yellows (also known as Koni Sports) are the ones to get. Seriously. They are NOT cheap, but for what they are, and what they can do, they are worth every penny. Not to mention they are made for heavily modified cars, and they have a lifetime warranty. Blow one, send it back, get a new one.
                            I have Konis in my car now, and I will NEVER get anything else.
