TA-TECHNIC coilovers

Just found them on ebay and was wondered if they're any good?

Would rather pay for quality but cant resist a bargain if there is 1 going  :happy2:

Just because something is cheaper, doesn't make it a bargain, it just makes them cheap.  :wink:

As top cat said.
In my experience cheap coilovers will have cheap shocks and produce a rougher ride, and the adjustment will be limited after dirt and grime gets to the threads.
Worth paying a bit more for better quality.

Very cheap pattern made coilovers that WILL rust and be extremely bad at being suspension.

Same as the Gmax, Jamex, Pi etc.... not made and extensively tested on an actual car as the likes of Bilstein/Eibach etc are but made to a pattern derived from the standard equipment.
