Default slip over coil overs

are slip over coilover worth the money if that is all you can afford? I mean saving up for a 500 dollar pair of real coilovers is out of the question.

From all the crap I hear about them, there not worth the money at all.You would be better off stock, or springs. You can get a nice set of springs for like $200.

Suspension is NOT something you want to go cheap on. Do some research into what you're buying before you go throwing it on your car...

I mean uh... I got some 50 dollar coilovers i'll sell you.
