Cheap ebay Lowering Springs

Has anyone tried these? For under $80 bucks shipped, this would cover my install cost easily for what it would cost me for name brand ones. There's always a catch

Personally I'd cut my springs before eBay crap went on

I have a friend who bought eBay springs and then cut them too..

@OP do it if you want it to look good but drive like absolute ****. Really though, it's not worth the money or effort to put those on. Save up for some good stuff, you'll be thankful in the long run

Negative. The ad says the coils are cold wounded.

I guess they fell down in December?

OP are you serious? Even if I owned a Civic I wouldn't put them on just because of the cost. That cost screams garbage, and suspension to me is as important as brakes/tires. Definitely not worth going the cheap.route.

Seems legit. Go for it, it's just springs.

Please don't do this. The stock springs that came with your car are FAR more higher quality than this. The stock springs are actually tuned from factory for our car. This pos is probably made in china that'll actually make your car handle worse than factory. Are you on the budget? How about making a "WANTED" thread in the classified section for a "take off" Nismo springs (from a regular nismo owner who upgraded to swift or w/e). He'll probably let you have it for $100 or even free (just pay shipping). and If you're curious how good is stock suspension? well here's a member doing autox on bone stock oem suspension. Stock suspension is good enough starting point for many motorsports event.

Why don't you just go to a muffler shop have them heat up the coils to drop it?

But seriously save your money and don't waste it on JUNK!

Your Z doesn't deserve it.

Lol I did that at 16. Did it with a propane torch in the garage. Actually worked very well since it took forever to heat so the drop was slow and easy to control.
