How/why can you make something that works for so cheap? Discuss e-Bay springs!

^ Yea you can assuming shipping costs are all inclusive, and if you dont have to get new mounts, mount bearings, bump stops, etc...
but again, it looks like you its eventual you would get coilovers, plus the labor and tools to do it if you can't do it yourself. coilovers anyone can install even someone who hasn't touched this kind of car. Again like we all know its a simple really shock/spring replacement assuming nothing else is worn out.
I bought both my Megans and BC for 800 bucks shipped, full remove and replace deal, no reassembling parts. Teins were my worse money spent, only kept it on for a month - not sure about the super expensive ones. so you can add labor if you arent doing it either. i can change into coilovers in roughly an hour or so, three top nuts, and two lower bolts. its really the guys choice, im just throwing things out there. I cannot force or convince someone to get coilovers its your car. It seems like he knows a bit about suspension but asking about cheap springs is ironic.

yes 800-1000 dollar coilovers are not the best coilovers but they are true bang for buck, but honestly, with the revalving and customizable spring rates, you'd be surprised how it holds up to my friends that have 2000 dollar suspension, sometimes you don't notice the difference or sometimes they are worse. For daily driving its more than enough for occasional sporting, its fine - but thats not your interest you just want to fix it, so just replace the shocks and springs, done deal. but people need to understand there is no cons to coilovers these days, besides spending a couple hundred bucks more, but you get so much more flexibility.
