lol....I'll give you the ones I bought .....they suck.....big giant balls ............there stiff as hell and its like riding in a lumber truck.That is probablly the reason blizares broke....they have no give really.I only have the back ones on mine now.....putting the stockers back in until I get some real coil overs.......cheap shit imo.
And they do not perform better with the blues......

If your going to do coilovers don't go cheap. Get real coilovers like JIC or TIEN but don't deal with the ebay ones for that cheap because they will just give you grief.

Yea. They suck ass. Ride like ass. oh and feel like ass too.

They broke cause they were on stock struts which bottomed out all the time and blew after like 2 months. The springs broke when the stuts were shot. all of them. The weight was then transfered soley to the spring. I would nevar do that again.

They are not made of butter or meat paste as you may presume. They are made of peanut brittle. emoji

Don't buy them. At least buy some ground controls. They use quality Eibach springs and are good pieces.

I also own a set of Dropzone struts and springs and they are lik 2 3/4 drop but ride VERY NICE>

If you want a starter system but some tokico blues and Ground controls.
