If they were $40 - you are probably lucky they didn't fit.

Anyone have experience with the MAX coilovers? I think I may end up getting them instead of the Megans, plus they're in SD

When you own at the track what are you going to say?
"oh yea dude I just bought this car"

any schmuck with money can get a fast car, but it takes skill and reaps respect only when you build it yourself.

please save up OEM parts that have 100,000 miles are better then ebay parts.

or watch nico for some used coils. I sold some teins flex master's for 400 a few months ago.

you'll find deals to.

here in my country are sellers who sells this cheap coilovers from ebay at 150usd including ship.

its a big big problem to me buy stuff in usa because when they cross frontier, the items will lost. its a pain in the *** . i cant support buying some $400 item and wait for a lost in the way.

i think those coil overs need to mod the oem shock strut. i mod mines to use 18" 245/40/18 tires in front. its not a problem for me.

you have to find a better strategy, for example go to customs and pick your stuff up yourself.

its something like i live in an old west... i can buy those ebay coilovers here in mexico (the cheaper coilovers) but it sells for 130 usd... why will i pay that for a 30 coilover? if that sucks, i want to lost 30 usd and not 130usd .

i have the tools for the install, but i dont know if it will fit right. maybe some nico members has those cheap ebay coilovers but they dont will post a picture of it because some users will flame him =)

to do it custom its more expensive
