    word, get what you pay for. I have however heard good things about the Ksport coilovers and they are cheaper than the megan pieces of shit. Fuck it, go big or go home, Kei office sp????

    sleeve coilovers are never the same size as the factory springs. They will cause problems with the stock shocks since they're certainly going to be higher rate than what the shocks are valved for. They'll generally fit but don't expect anything more than a bumpy and poor handling car afterwards.
