i wana get some cheap ass coilovers for my mazdaspeed. I have spool racing springs, but the drop was not what I was looking for. I could use some coilovers that wud do the job, for only a few months out of the year. I want to have my ride low in the summer then prolly in the winter I wood swap back on the stock springs or the spools... My main question is do you think these cheap ass coilovers will fuck up my ride? I dont care about ride quality.. I just dont want somthing that will break my shit lol!

It looks like a real good price, but when it comes to springs, if you get a bad set, your ride will be terrible. I know from experience. I would atleast contact the seller and see whay brand they are and find out the brand's track record for reliability. If it still feels a little weak so to speak then take a look at Ground Control or Skunk coil overs. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for...

just get the GC or skunk 2s. those arent full coilovers. those are threaded sleeve kits. the one on ebay is crap. it prob wont lower ur car as much as the skunk 2 or gc. of course theres other problems like coils breaking, the spring cap if its plastic crushing, the perches unlocking and the ride height gets messed up, and just riding shitty. go check out my site to see the current avail set ups.

your best bet for suspension is H&R..if you want to take a loan out..Skunk2's are just alright..nothing special at all..I would recommend saving for a little while. OR go with the tokico struts and MSP springs..that seems to be a GREAT ride..thats what i'm doing most likely..

Tein coilovers are where its at. Fully adjustable hotttt sauce.

If you want to increase the performance as well as drop your MSP, check out JIC Magic FLTA-2.
http://www.jic-magic.com/productsjic_susp.htm
The absolute best...and they don't come for anywhere near 50 bucks. ;)
If you put those Tom coilovers on your car, you will LOSE performance, the ride will suck, and you'll regret it.
Also, I agree with Spicy. If you can't afford JIC or Tein coilovers but want a nice drop, H&R seems to make the best springs for our cars.

YEP 100% Bang for your buck! Great ride? adjustability? How low do you want to go? They'll do it!
Tein SS Full body coilover Smokin' setup.
You'd get a better ride from a stripper for $50.00.
Tom's is all garbage.

these coilovers have a real good chane of freezing up and rusting, so you are stuck at a certain ride height

you really can't expect to much for $90 (shipping). i can't imagine them giving you anything but trouble!

you get what you pay for. If I had the lovley suspension of the MSP and wanted to go lower, I wouldn't do anythign less than TEIN, SPOOL, or TEIN adj. coilovers. Anything else is just crap.
