First Post here

So i Just got my new 2015 Frs.
i love the thing handles amazing, i Just dont like how tall the car sits. So a buddy of mine just got coilovers and he was selling his Truhart lowring Springs With Oem Shocks for 200$$
Questions

worst.
1.75/2.25 drop? sounds uneven to me.
Look at how the ends of the coil is cut, so bad.
And the paint is peeling on one coil, so bad. I think coils should be powder coated, not painted.
If they can't get that part right, what do you expect from a finished product?
Looks like coil bind city to me.
No phone number, no email, but they take orders? Stay away. Stay tru 2 ur hart.

those springs (and other brands at that level) serve ONLY ONE purpose: lower the car. it does NOTHING else properly.

You'll have better luck with cutting your stock springs.

Why not just spend a couple more bucks on used springs?

All this^^^^^ They look like the bar stock was cut off with bolt cutters and then roughly coiled. I wouldn't touch them if they gave them to me.
