No, they aren't even worth the crappy metal they're made of.

No I dont have any intention on getting "coilovers" for a $100... I value my life a lil more than that I was just curious b/c ive never seen them that cheap before and was wondering how they are coilovers without a strut...

They're Called COILOVER_SLEEVES

Your stock shock goes inside the coilover application.

They're crap. Your car will bounce like never before and your strut will probably only last you a couple of days , if you're lucky!

Plus the metal they're made of is garbage. They'll probably break as soon as you apply weight to from the car to'em.

I lost count... seriously. And yes, they are sleeves and not a full suspension setup. Just like Ground Controls, which run about $300. As said above, not worth the money. Sure it will lower your car, but it might not be very secure and you'll be on stock shocks, so they will most likely blow because of the crappy springs.

Moving to newbie/FAQ
