Default DPT Motorsport Coilovers

What's everyones opinions on these? I know they're cheap and I just don't want to put them on my ef if they aren't good. I'm sort of new to this scene so any help is good. Thank you.

No mention of spring rates or spring manufacturer on the description, no instructions, no mention of aftermarket strut fitment, and $60-something shipped? I can't say I'd recommend anyone put those on anything. Generally, suspension is one huge area that you don't want to cut costs on. If your heart is set on coilovers, look into Skunk2 or Ground Control. I'd also recommend getting stiffer struts as high spring rates (like you'll find on most name-brand coilovers) tend to make struts leak rather quickly.

Basically, they'll work in the fact that they'll hold the car up, absorb bumps, and give you the ability to adjust ride height. There's no telling what they'll do to your handling as they don't list the spring rate (how hard it is to compress the spring) though.

+1 with what reaper said.

It's MUCH better to spend the extra money on a good quality suspension product and have it last you years. By buying a cheaping suspension setup, you'll very likely end up spending more money replacing parts when something fails. It's just better to do it right the first time, it will save money in the long run. Not to mention you know it'll be safe.
