They're pretty much junk except the sleeves. They don't test their spring rates, so basically every car uses the same, which definitely isn't good for performance. You could get custom springs from Eibach, though, and use the eBay sleeves with them.

what do you mean custom springs ? can you use other springs with the sleeves ?

You can use the same spring rates as the Skunk2 or GC sleeve-type coilvers. I think the only springs (that are sold) that work with sleeves are Hotchiks springs:confused: All it know is that regular springs will not fit over the sleeves..esp the front cause they are larger and will just go over the sleeves. Thats why you would have to custom make them. Anyways it will be really bouncy..unless you pair them up with konis..but i used to have Skunk2s and they still were a bit bouncy with konis :eek:

i tried those cheap coilovers on ebay for like $30-$50.. to tell you from my experience, it was pretty good to me.. i had them on my integra for a whole year with kyb gr-2 shocks.. the ride was pretty good no problem.. i adjusted them over 30 times dues to season & preference. the sleeves show no wear & tear. even the bottom of sleeves didn't sink down & crack into the bottom of the strut base. usually the sleeves would start cracking, but my held up good.
then the cheap a$$ kyb shocks blew out oil & it turned my ride into ****. i decided to go with h&r springs + tokico blues shocks. if i had a chance to go back i would.
