    I have never heard of that suspension setup before. I'm running the Bilstein 5160 s 6100

    I recommend you hold out and save up some more cash and buy a decent setup. You do not want to go cheap with suspension

    A few threads before said the brand was ok. I remember before their descriptions said 0-6 inch lift. So that alone is an alarm in my head.

    2.5-5” is what it says in OPs link, so 2.5” of adjustability. Like every other coilover in the market.

    Did u run them at 5 inches? Just wondering. Never seen a 2.5-5 inch coil before. Not 5 inches without a drop bracket at least

    They’re as much of a no name, eBay coilover as any other similar product is. Different than your current lift, but better? $500 to find out. I’d assume it wouldn’t be a drastic improvement in ride or performance.

    Might be better served with some used name brand stuff instead, rebuildable and with part/manufacturer support and readily available coil options.
