Sleeve type coilovers?

I've been looking around on the internet for a way to lower my car without spending 1000+ dollars. I came across this one type of coilovers, they're sleeve type which just fits over your existing shocks/struts I guess. They are considerably cheaper than true coilovers, but I also hear they can be dangerous and a waste of money. If anyone knows anything more about either of these please let me know, b/c I really don't know what to do. Peace.

1st of all they are not dangereous , unless you don't know how to install them..2nd they are used by 10's of thousands of car folks includeing myself and 100's of others in this forum alone..and 3rd of all...PLEASE put in your Vehicle specs in the profile of your additional information...

It really depends on the brand. Good brands for sleeve-overs are Skunk2, Ground Control, and DropZone are okay brands. It's when you buy no names from eBay that the danger things comes in to play.

yeah, if you have the name brand, then dont worry..if your worried about the shocks/struts to, then get some aftermarket ones to!

I also heard that sleeve types can ride rough, but I guess if I get the good brands then I probably won't have to worry about that huh?

I have heard that the Skunk2 ones have been known to blow shocks and the Ground Control ones are the best...

i got mine ( drop zone ) from wheelbrokerang , and they are great, but i definatly will be getting some shocks/struts that are designed for a lowered car, but i couldn't be happier and wheelbrokerang is greatto deal with , and has good pricing too
