Those don't looke like a true coilover kit. It appears that you would have to buy a threaded shock or they sit in the sprint seat and you can tighten/loosen the spring. Don't look very reliable and I wouldn't trust new springs that cheap and especially not a "coilover" set as they describe it. If you want real coilovers you should be looking in the $600 to well over $1k range for a new set.

If you're looking for a cheap drop I always recommend the Eibach Pro-Kit. 1.2 inches fornt and rear and use the stock shocks. No camber kit needed, just an alignment. $190 from tirerack.com

Dropzone's aren't horrible.... they're not the best either, if you used them you can expect a fairly bouncy ride, a better look and average handling, those threaded sleves simply slide over your existing shock and provide adjustability. If you want inexpensive about the best/cheapest way for a decent setup is KYB Shocks with Neuspeed coilovers. That'll get you started but it's not going to be a real race setup but it will look nice and handle better than stock. Don't forget, anything over 1" drop will require a camber kit!

The $107 price tag for coilovers threw up a huge red flag for me

finch, eventually you're gonna have to replace your stock shocks/struts...OEM can handle only so much pressure for so long.

Yeah I know, I'm not looking forward to that day. I only recommended a cheap drop, not a long-life performance suspension.
