lets just say you get what you pay for.....

10 bucks for coil overs????.........A cheap basic set of coilovers costs like 600 bucks...Full coilover kit..

Your best bet is that. Or just get good springs ( about 100 bucks, eibach, h&R ) and good struts......

Dont get that eBay garbage you'll regret it.
My friend bought some eBay springs and his car bounces all over the place.

my friend drives an 02 subaru wrx and he got a set of tein lowering springs. he says he feels like he now haS to buy aftermarket shocks cause his stock ones cant keep up. im plannin on getting eibach's prokit springs and he recommended them to me as well, saying hed probably get those too for his car. he says that eibachs are designed to work well w/ stock suspension and that if i got them i wouldnt need anything else. is this true? would i be awright if i just got the springs and nothing else?

You can get by with just the Pro Kit for a while, but eventually I'd give it a year max, you'll need some new shocks.
I thought the Pro Kit was a great bargain, but it turned out that isn't all you need. You gotta get camber kits, and an alignment, and then later on shocks, so it would probably would be better to just get coilover to start with.
It is more expensive at first, but they will last a lot longer, from what I've read anyway.

God, im getting tired of people perpetuating this stupid ass "if you get lowered springs on stock shocks they will break " myth. Anyone that gives you a time period on how long stock shock's will last with lowered springs (especially eibach springs) is bullshitting. Dont believe them, they dont know what they are talking about. Unless they have actually had a shock blowout, dont give what they say a second thought...now with that said, i have eibachs sport springs on my car (lowest springs eibach makes for accords) on stock shocks with 113k miles (about 90k miles with the eibach springs) and my shocks are perfectly fine, as if my stock springs were still on them.
