No, they are not good coilovers. Don't cheap out on suspension, after all it's only holding up 2500lbs(give or take) and you and whoever you decide to drive around.

Be patient, save some money and buy some good coilovers like Ground Controls.

thanks guys. I wont go that route. The thing is i want to lower it but i have to get new suspension for my car. When i hit a bump you hear like a clack noise. I dont know how to explain it but someone told me it was the suspension.

Saying it's the suspension is very general...There are many components dealing with the suspension(shocks, springs, control arms, bushings, ball joints, etc..) that can cause the noise. Figure out exactly what's causing the noise before wasting hundreds of dollars to not fix anything.

What happened to people buying coilovers as a performance mod? If you want to lower the car just buy springs.

Otherwise Tein FTW.

$325+ shipping or something like that if you order directly from Ground Control (ground-control-store.com). Or at least that's what it was when I bought them for my old civic.

Because springs don't give you this kind of drop, nor do they allow you to tweak the ride height to exactly where you want it:
