Is this worthwhile?

[alexrox60]

Hey guys, i have been recommended this product and just wanted to hear your opinion on this product, and whether it will do the job? and im really stumped to why it is so cheap? I am currently looking to lower my 1990 NA6, i use it as a daily driver as im on my P's so im not looking for anything to "flashy" sports wise. Along with the installation of this kit, what else has to be modified to my vehicle?

1) cut your springs, thats free.
or,
2) keep an eye out for good quality branded lowering springs in the forsale section. You can pick up a set of king or eibach lowering springs for as little as $200 second hand.

3) stay away from cheap ebay crap, it never ends well.

Suspension forms the component which keeps your car off the ground. Don't cheap out on it!

I got Koni adjustable shocks from Shox.com ($650), Mazdaspeed springs from auctions.yahoo.jp ($250), and bump stops from fatcatmotorsports.com ($140). If I were buying again I'd probably go for Eibach progressive rate springs, but I like my shocks and bump stops.

It's cheap because you have to do a sh*t load of work yourself.

Going by the photo, all they are doing is replacing your springs and giving you an adjustable spring seat to weld on to your strut/shock body after you cut off the existing spring seat.

In the end you are better off going with either a new shock/spring package or getting proper coil overs.

The only time I would use something like this is for a vehicle that doesn't have an off the shelf coil over kit available, for example 240Z, that needs the struts modified and the shocks are a removable insert.
