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.

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.

***AFTER***

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?
