Put them back in the box and send them back to the person you purchased them on Ebay from. Those are just going to cause problems.. save yourself the hassel.
how come you say that.... has their been problems with these.. explain man!!
Ok heres my story and I think I can still save you....
I'm living proof these "ebay" coilover kits are complete junk. I have them on my car at the moment and heres my take on them. First off i have a blown rear shock, and the other rear shock is probably about to go. The front struts im surprised are lasting as long as they are. The thing rides like a tank. If you so much as hit a little dip in the road it feels like the car just ran into a ditch and the struts and shocks just blew through the towers. I've already had to replace a lower ball joint, an outer tierod, and a wheel bearing because of these monstrosities.
Save your money, even if they are a mere $35, you'll end up paying more in the end. I'm finally going to get rid of this junk and buy a really nice setup this summer thank god.
Theres a reason why the good springs cost a couple hundred dollars.
^^^ listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about.

Thanks, yeah that must suck to replace all that @!#$... well im going to get my brother to have a look at them before i put them on... he is a mechanic and fixes my car so he probly wont let me put junk on...... Your car is so fuc*ing awsome by the way. By far the best cav on here!!!!!
Thanks
Just don't want anyone going through what I am. You can't tell their junk by looking at them. The problem with those things are the high as hell spring rates. They really arent made specifically for any car, but more of a universal cheapo kit.
@!#$ man i hope i can sell to someone else lol. i wasted 140 bucks on these damn things haha. Oh well i dont think i can send them back to the seller but im going to email him. Thanks
ha, i could've saved you 140 bucks and gave you mine for free
Can i still have them for free
pay for shipping and maybe 5 bucks for my taco bell
and they are yours
the boxes don't look as nice as yours do because they've been sitting in my garage untouched for quite some time now
my friend put those exact same things on his Altima. The springs are like a trampoline when it rides.....And PLEASE don't ever consider riding in the back with those springs on because you will honestly loose your lunch and the day befores (and i,m not a person to get car sick).
Its just a really crappy ride quality not to mention just a half ass made product. It was soo funny. I helped put those on his car and after we were all done we couldn't understand why it still looked stock height. ANd we all started scratching our heads and swearing for all the unnessary work.
Then as he's pulling out of the driveway.....BAM! The car just drops from stock height to a 3in drop in a matter of a millia second. and that was where all the problems started.
Now i,m not trying to preach to you about anything...i just would feel back if you went through all this work on your car and run into problems that end up costing you more money.
I went with Gold-Line Springs and Koni Reds and have never been happier
Hope this helps you out bro,
ALex
Are you kidding, they are actually selling those things now for that much!!
Man, i got those same ones for $100 less. Thats it, im going on a mission to hunt down all those @!#$ toolbags selling that crap and ripping people off.
i got my dropzone coilovers on ebay and ive been riding on them for 30,000 miles with no prob. of coarse im on Koni Reds, but still... the coilovers are holding up very well.
Want a spoiler like mine? I know a seller. Email me.
Yea i would suggest the Ground Control coilovers, very good imo and also if anybody out there has extra parts kicking arround -- I NEED THE TOP hat and bearings for the front coils. check out the pic and what ever u see, i need. Thx sorry for jacking your post.

kinda looks like one too... all big and wide and stuff jk
sellem and get springs atleast....... those ebay things are really dangerous... a kid here in town bought a set and the adjust ment ring snapped in two and the jolt from that broke a tierod... or really bent it badly anyways... luckily he was only goin 35 when it all let go.... if he woulda been on the freeway or something.... some call the meat wagon
Shush Weasel..i want my shirley temple
i sold a set of those for 25 bucks and i still felt bad for the guy

For Sale: rk pro street coilovers
please don't put these on. i too like Meckster has had big probs with the cheap coilovers. i put them on my 2000 that i used to have. before one year was up. all struts and shocks were blown. bad ball joint and a few other problems. lets just say its not worth it.
