    Default Should I Risk Fitting "Cheap" Coilovers ?

    I bought those 240 quid coliovers off ebay a couple of weeks ago, there from germany and made by a company called "Autotechnics".

    ive done research and found these coilovers are of the cheapest standard you can get and can break or snap in 12 months, however, the company gives a 2 year warranty on them so i doubt that statement.

    what i really want to know is should i fit them, bear in mind i dont rag my car about everywhere and i mainly want them for looks rather than track performance, so will these coilys be acceptable for my use,

    i dnt know whether to sell them for like 200 quid and save up for AP coilovers or a proper make like that?

    need advice !

    fit them mate, you shouldnt have any problems with day to day motoring. just keep your standard suspension and remember to give the threads a good coating with copper grease to ensure they done sieze up

    no swap mate, but i can get them cheap. they are looking me to become "sole uk distributor" of their suspension kit, i just need a picture of the standard shocks so they can check for me.
