Never or seen it or heard of it, but I don't think I would put $50 coils on any car. I've seen what happens when a spring breaks at highway speeds.

For 50 bucks you can buy them and try it out. If it doesn't work, worst case scenario is you're out $50. Best case is you turn around and sell them for a profit.

If these are those ~$50 Ebay coils, don't waste your money. My friend gave me some for my old Corolla, on top of not fitting into the stock topmount at all, they were VERY stiff. I replaced them with cut stock springs, and had the ebay ones sitting outside my shop. Someone stole them, and they were so bad they actually returned them! lol

It can be ok at times to cheap out of things, but suspension components are NOT one IMHO.
