Find out what model.Make sure they aren't blown.No sense spending so much money on coilovers that were crap in the first place.

Cuscos are going to be far better quality than most of the coilovers people run on this site. Better than Stance, K-Sport, Tein, D-Max, Meagan, JIC etc. Their only real competition in that price range would be Zeal. Of course, we still need to know which model they are to really be able to determine what you are getting.

NOTE: They will not go low in the front! I removed the main lower collar on mine just to get as low as I am in the front. Grant it, I am running 18" 'wheels, so tire selection makes it a bigger overall diameter than someone running 15" or 16" wheels. So mine sits 1/2" - 1" higher just because of that. But regardless, they will not go mega low in front.

Dude, just get some new Stance GR+'s for $1000 and be done with it. They will go low! They are actually a pretty decent brand too.

Did you check here:

You should go and measure your ride height, see how much lower you would want to go. Then just research what coilover set will actually let you go that low. Why anyone would want to "dump" their car is beyond me, then again it is their car.

Oh and Broadfield, why would want to go any lower? It looks damn perfect.

Dude, you really need to find out which model they are!!! Because ride height adjustability can vary with model. I have the Zero 2E's and I had to remove the lower collar to get it as low as it is now. Mine CANNOT go any lower. I am out of threads on the body. I'm not sure how many times you want me to tell you mine can go no lower.
