    I have one phrase for you , "stay the fuck away from them" Now with that said, I havent rode on the egay coilovers but I have rode on the more expensive ones (Dropzone) and those were crappy as hell which will make the $20 set from ebay even worst. You will bounce like "a basketball in the NBA playoffs" going down the road.

        hell yeah , what Gemini said.. I think ground controls are good coilcovers with good set of shocks as well.

                I have to slow down for everything. I can't even go into my school parking lot because the speedbumps are too big, and if I make it in I'll scrape my stock lip going out. Some nights when I come out of class I can't find my car because all the stock cars are too tall.

                    The only sleeve over that is worth buying are the ground controls. Everything else is shit. Id go full coil over if you have the money. If not stick to spring and shock combo/

                      Other than the 1 key adjustments the springs are the major difference between the two. I purchased my CB7 with some ebay coilovers and I looked at the spring rate, you know that # on the spring and it was 650. 650 on a mid-size 2800lbs Accord. Stiff, stiff, stiff. Spring rate you prefer could vary, however 650 is strictly for the track. And the you need a strut like a Koni Yellow to adjust for the stiffness.

                        A koni yellow isn't meant to handle over 600. If you want higher you could pay to have them revalved to race specs.
