i know...and i gave you my opinion lol dont buy them, find a set of eibachs, b&gs, or some other name brand, you arent going to get a set of adjustable coilovers for 50 bucks

dont cheap out on suspension parts

exactly, cheap out on a SRI sure, its a non moving part. cheap out on coilovers is a big no no. remember you get what you pay for

I know a kid that autocrosses his SVT focus on something like these...but I'm sure people die and kill other people because of something like these...I'd say 'hit or miss' is a game you don't want to play with suspension.

i beleive those are bombz coil overs, Save your money do it right.
get koni's and if you want coil overs get the ground controll. but their are some good spring setup out their

if you really don't care how it rides and just want it low.

DO IT

we put those on friends neon, just for fun while his other car was still in the shop (he was getting nose bleeds from stock height). it took maybe 3 hours to install all 4 and that includes beer breaks.

overall they dont suck that bad. the set screws are a joke and i ended up using my own.

we found that if you flip the perch upside down you get another 2 inch drop.

DO IT.

p.s.
only do it if its not a daily
