You get what you pay for.
Don't expect them to last long (maybe 10-20k miles depending on road conditions)
Don't expect the to last through winter in places where they salt roads or it snows and not have them rust together and not be adjustable
Don't be surprised if they bend / blow
If you are 100% aware you're buying soemthing cheap, go for it.

Ebay coilovers are worse than factory shocks... why would you want them? If you want to lower your car you are better off buying a set of springs from a company that doesn't make garbage.

The cheap coilover debate gets rehashed here about once a day. The conclusion is always the same: Do not buy cheap coilovers for any reason.
But for whatever reason, people desperately want to believe that cheap coilovers are a good deal. They're not. You're going to sacrifice handling and compromise reliability for what amounts to a cheap lowering package.
If you really want to lower your car, stick with the stock struts and buy some quality springs that are matched to your struts. You will get a car that is lowered but still handles properly and a suspension package that isn't going to fall apart on you.

Same story every time I look at this stupid forum, bunch of high school education idiots thinking they know it all about mechanical engineering(that's why I don't post much, too much stupidity here) and trying to make themselves feel smart by putting others down, these guys belong with the muscle car heads, they own the wrong car. They say some of the dumbest **** ever here more than half the time, take 80% of what you see and hear here with not just a grain of salt but a few dashes, I would be weary of the ones with thousands of posts...ahem nooo life......
While it is true that you usually get what you pay for, sometimes if you look hard enough, and are intelligent enough to fix any potential problems yourself, then it sometimes could be worth going the cheap route. Unless you have a lot of money to blow.
I have to say that I am satisfied with their rear swaybar so I think I actually might try these coilovers pretty soon. (I wouldn't buy just any part from godspeed though) Anyways, I'll try to let you know how they are after I get them on, I'll compare them to my friend's suspension(evo 9) he has some ohlins that costed maybe 3 times as much(with no height adjustability and no camber adjust) and I have stock suspension with rear swaybar and have same cornering speeds after the bar was installed(he has stock bars).
The good thing about the godspeeds is they come with camber adjust plates while the ohlins that costed 3 times as much need additional camber bolts from eibach.
You being from colorado or wutever and me being from so cal, the weather should be fine for us to use these "cheap rusty coilovers".....
Me and my buddy also are thinking about making a bunch of evo install and maintenance and fixing videos as we move along. I just fixed my sunroof last week. I might record the install for these coilovers and post it up on youtube.

You need a chill pill.
< thousands of posts -- why? Because I tested and worked a ton on this platform.
These are re-packaged BC coil overs. Which we know have spotty valving and low quality parts throughout.
What you "pay for" in KW, AST, Ohlins is much more than good internals, its also good manufacturing and engineering all over the system. Not a clone or copy. Truth is 90% do not need coil overs (which since we are talking engineering here...they already have a coil over strut system...).
And I fail to see how a sway bar purchase translates into a coil over.
I think you need to read more on the dynamics of this platform.
