No they not good. Forget about them!!!
ludes are ment to be driven, not wanking around on a stand like a Civic.

Hell no mate. Imo they are bloody dangerous as usually the spring rate is mental and the shock rebound cant cope with it. I crashed my old esi civic on these :shock: id say there only good for dropping for shows ect.

There designed to sleeve over ur standard shocks. So as that you have got adjustable height. The springs are so hard tho that it just becomes bouncy. :evil:

I really want my car to sit lower than it sits now (35mm drop). I can't afford coilovers at the moment. Would it be better to chop couple of coils off my springs or to get a set of these?
