Are the coil-overs on ebay pretty good? The ones that cost around $50....

you pay for what you get....

^^^exactly. you'll end up spending more money in the long run if you go with the cheap stuff now.

Bro if you're gonna make such a generalized statement like that, at least state what coilovers you have and what type of shocks you're running.

$50 coilovers from eBay are obviously no good. There are much better name-brand coilovers out there.

I'm rollin on eibach prokit springs and kyb agx shocks

I highly regret buying ebay coilovers if it helps....they have to stay on though because I cannot afford springs....but anyway, I've been having nothing but problems just trying to get them lined up to be driveable. Good luck !

i had the ebay coilovers on my talon for about 20 mins. We are talking about the springs and perch only not a true coilover setup. I cannot describe the ride.....holy crap was one way to put it. I bottomed out just pulling the car out of the garage. I have a gravel drive and the small tiny concrete bump you have as the edge of the apron from the garage ends.....my god i went around the block and saw my dash bounce about an inch when i bottomed out just going around a turn. I had to pull them out right away. i then had to take my superbee and run to the snap on dealers house to buy a damn spring compressor. It was a go nowhere night.....no progress on the car.

Ok.........JUST AN UPDATE !! I blew the front driver's side strut on the way home from work today. I was really pissed because I can't afford good struts and springs right now. The back is ok with the cheap coilovers on (still get about 2 1/2 inches of movement in the A-arm before it hits the inner fender). So I pondered for a while and noticed my rear stock springs were thinner and shorter than my front stock springs......well, it's obvious what happened. I ripped the coilovers off the front, then threw them around for a while and stopped when they were flattened under my hammer.....then I put my rear springs on my front stock struts. It lowered my front end to the identical height of what the coilovers were set to. I had to test it out, so I went down some backass road with a lot of bumps and hit everyone I saw....the back made noise but my front A-arms never hit once and it was smooth the whole way. I don't know how long it will last, but there's an idea for those of you who still want to go the cheap route like myself.

Did you leave the coilovers on the back? and put your stock springs from the back on the front. Cause I have the ebay cheapies and have a set of brand new gr2s and a poly. bushing kit about to go in. exactly what did you do to do this?
