Question About these Coilovers

Has anyone tried theses coilovers out? How's the quality? Hows the ride compared to stock? How much lower do you get?

Probably not good. Below-average at best.

You can rub all day on these if you want to, ride height-wise.

As someone who has fallen for the trap of cheap coilover kits before, these are good for making your car closer to the ground, and that's about it.

The ones that come with the car are better than those.
