Just because its 50 dollars dosnt mean its rice. ive expirienced those 50 dollar coil over sleeves. they were still good to a even after i took them off after a year. the only problem i had with them is that it froze up to a certain point so i couldnt adjust my ride height.

The 50 dollar coilovers i think work they same as the 300 dollar ones...one of my friends has the ground control coilovers and another has some ebay coilovers where he paid like 70 plus shipping...the ride quality is the same and I really don't see what the difference between them is except for the brand and the price.

i had a friend with groundf controls and i got some no name brand from a local performance shop and our friends acutally like the way my teg rides over his! so i guess it depends on the quality of em! look into it more. do you have a pic of them you can post for us?

The cheap coilovers really are a piece of proverbial shit compaired to good springs or good coilovers. Don't waste your money, who knows what quality the sleeves are or what rate the springs are. Stick with a company that has already proven itself, like Ground Control, Skunk2 (formerly Skunkworks,) Eibach, Neuspeed, etc.

which ones do you have? Shocks also play into this. What shocks are you using and which ones is your friend using?
