ok think of it this way. You may install them and they ride fine cause i know a handful of people that have been lucky and they have worked perfect for them. But going 70 mph down the highway do you really feel comfortable riding on something you bought off ebay for 33 dollars? Suspension is a very crucial part of the car so personally ill wait till i get enough money to at least buy the 130 dollar springs.

Its your car and its your life and if you feel comfortable riding down the highway on something that costs 30 bucks then go right ahead

EEEK stay away. Generic coil overs are never a good idea. The spring rates are not right for the struts. I have seen these particular coil overs and i would never feel right about putting them on any car. If you want to roll your car on and off a trailer and look at them Im sure that they probably wont break doing that . If your looking for drivability get a real set! A good suspension setup has a strut / spring combination that are made to compliment each other.

i might pay $33 for a spanning wrench but not for coilovers. you get what you pay for. too good to be true, resist the urge man.
