CHEAP Coilovers?? anyone know about this?

I saw these on Ebay, and was wondering if anyone has used these, or knows about the company. I know I know , coilovers for $89 bux. but I wanna lower my car cheaply for now until I can afford a good full coilover setup. was wondering if they could hold up for awhile? heres the link http://www.x3racing.com/ and http://www.x3racing.com/product.asp?pid=CO-N24088

USE THE SEARCH button, im sure there is something on this. And by the way, these are NOT COILOVERS, they are SLEEVE OVERS. There is a HUGE difference. I would never put something of such low quality on my car. If you want to lower you car, get springs.

Dont buy those they are junk. S14Dude they are coilover's the sleeve type though. If you wanna put those on your car then I suggest you sell it and go buy a honda.

I am also looking into springs and came across those , was just wondering if it was an alternative to springs. Im sure its a crap product. The springs Im looking into r the tein S tech or Eibach sportline, but there expensive and both offer about a 2in drop. But it dosnt matter now cause an old women ran a light and hit my front end, bending the strut and breaking the tension rod and god knows what else. So Im screwed for now. Ive only got liability and the cop didnt give her a tickit! so Im hoping the witness thatr saw it will help me out. now I have the pleasure of getting screwed by the insurance company!

Teins don't drop 2 inches. 1.5 at most.

The tein's drop 1.7 up front and 0.9 in the back. Sleeve type coilovers are super low quality...

If you want to do something on your cars suspension for a hundred bucks to improve it then get all new bushings. I would highly recomend staying away from that ****. Its not only poor quality but in the driving conditions you or some one like me would put the car through not only puts you at danger but everyone else around you.

Im not saying you have to get the absolute best they make. But need to get something that is performace tested and has good customer feedback. Just my $.02.
