oh yeah guys since cutting my springs will make my ride height ADJUSTABLE

.... it just makes my springs not worth anything hah..
plus cutting springs is a no no... because maybe ur right spring has more lb pressure than the other side...
so im guessing these will do to lower my car right??

dude never cheap out. you have to pay to play if you want to lower your car on a budget go buy struts and real lowering springs not some ebay special. if you want adjustable coil overs then dig deeper into your pocket. never cheap out becuase it cost more in the long run to fix the mistake. go get some struts and springs please.

Put it this way.
What you have there, are £30 springs.
Eibach springs are £100+. And they aren't adjustable.
Koni springs are a little cheaper. They aren't adjustable.
And none of those come with dampers.
Do you honestly think that a set of £30 springs with collars is going to be any good? The collars probably won't even fit, the springs will either be fucking hard or stupidly soft, and you'll have wasted £30 you could have put towards some decent springs.
Buy cheap, buy twice. It's never been different, why would it change now?

they arent saying cut your springs because it's good, their saying if your stupid enough to buy those then you may as well be stupid enough to cut your springs because your basically doing the same thing
heck putting those on will decrease your performance

true you will have adjustable but your car will be so bouncy when it goes down the road it'll basically look like uncle bucks car all over again
when i first bought my car someonoe had put coilovers on it like that and after an hr of driving it ...when i got out my lower back hurt so much.
maybe you may be different and it wont hurt after driving but you will deff go down the road looking like a civic with bouncy ball suspension on it
like do what you want with it .... its your own car, im not trying to bash you or anything but most ppl on here have been there done that kind of thing

Buy them then if you think they're fine.
We're all telling you the same thing since you asked but hell, go ahead and ignore us ;)
I wouldn't post anything relating to how shocking an idea it was to buy them though ;)

Cutting your springs is adjustable - cut more off if you want to go lower, weld the pieces back on if you want to raise it again
