I wouldn't. This is a case of buy cheap buy twice imo.

Just thought for the price, its cheaper than buying standard shocks and lowering springs

probably similar to the cheap replacement upper&lower ball joints that came out 3 or 4 years ago ... all good at first but dont last more than a couple of years ;) now nobody will recommend using them!
next best thing might be the basic tein shocks&springs at around £400

just noticed youve got quite a fleet of cars looking at your signature. :)

Yes @@vanzep I have had a few but the fd2 was something else.
Would like to own an Integra DC5, like the look of those.

Would like to have seen a review on those shocks I posted up. £250 is very cheap and you get what you pay for but still you could go through 3 sets to 1 decent set.
