    I bougt a set a while back for my 91 honda CRX HF...It rode okay (because the car was light) , as long as you get some aftermarket shocks they shouldn't cause too much of a bounce (only bouncy if you run over bumps...) If you plan on gettin springs for a haevier car, i suggest investing in some legit aftermarket suspensions (Skunk2 lowering springs or what not...)

    I've bought a couple sets second hand when I've been in a pinch...

    They weren't terrific, but did the trick better than cut springs!

    Now that I've experienced the finest in suspension, i doubt I'll ever ride "Dirty" again though.

    i have had a bunch of them..springs are def the win......real full body coilovers are even better but they do the job. when i had ebay coilovers on my 98 accord back in like 2002 or so they were not to bad but the car was heavy too. in all seriousness though im rolling around on omnipower drag coilovers in the rear and sports in the front. i guarantee my rears are more harsh than any ebay coil overs ever thought about being!

    I have some Adj coil overs. You can get a really good drop, but they're bouncy...

    Had some, loved them, same as DropZone or OBX stuff.

    They are awesome for autocross and road racing.
