if you trust your life on 7.99 go for it

this is from a fourm here in town should tell you everything you need too know. these are not the same ones but its all the same on e-gay, but btw i hope you was kiding about this i dont want to hear about some 1 on the side of the road cuz the spent the same for a bigmac as coilovers for there car

[quote=""TopDeadCenter""]Stay clear of the almighty $29.99 ebay coilovers.

If parts have a cheap price, chances are they reflect a cheap quality.

I preach this day in and day out. From a manufacturing stand point, there is no way possible to build a quality part for $29.99, much less packaging, shipping, marketing, and other costs. Still, we have guys come in everyday that say "why would I pay $1500.00 for Tein coilovers? I saw some on Ebay for 30 bucks!"

This is why.







Imagine what could have potentially happened if the sleeve had spilt inhalf at interstate speeds.

And, while #1 brand is distributed by NOPI, it still shows the quality of a cheap part.

Buy them at your own risk. .[/quote]

also another quote that comes to mind is

"SPEED, RELIABILTY OR CHEAP PRICE, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE TWO OF THOSE"

why would you pay nearly 3-4 times in shipping what the product actually costs?You could probably buy $40 springs with free shipping instead of buying $9 springs with $33 shipping.

^LMAO

You get what you pay for. Nuff said.

Americans have this malformed perception of value. Value does not equal cheaper products at the expense of quality. Value is getting a quality product for a good price.
