Rota = knockoff brand
Work = Legit
Yokohama = Legit
Cheap coilovers make the ride worse. Quality coilovers that are properly dialed in, with softer spring rates, will ride as good as or better than stock.

Appreciate everyones feedback so far! I knew Rota had to be knockoff as it tends to be about 50% of the cost of the others...
So my next question would be...Where do I suffer from knockoff? Are they heavier due to sh*ttier material/processes? Or is it just a brand name thing? I think they all look really good but I'm not cheap enough to put poor performing wheels on my car to save a few bucks...But i'm also not vein enough to pay extra purely for a brand name...Know what I'm saying? Again thanks for yours (and everyone else's) opinions
