Is anyone running or used these Coilovers?
I hit the search button on Ebay Coilovers and got different topics but not this one in particular. Has anyone heard of a company called Super High? They had some springs on ebay that they claimed are like the GC Kit. When speaking to them, the springs are 5 5/8" Long. Here is the link to them:

I think these can hold be a cheap alternative as you save up. What are your thoughts on these? Just a basic ebay coilover or something like a Ground Control kit?

Basing your opinion of the springs on the description the seller puts on eBay is a recipe for heartbreak. They are eBay coilovers, which means that the sleeves will be decent and the springs will be trash. If you want to do it cheap, order QA1s from Summit to replace the springs that come with the kit.

I planned on getting a set of QA1 7" springs anyway from reading all of the post of the swaps but I was curious. I checked out the GC Kit on FM. This kit:

I will say...as far as the Egay coilover kits go, that is the nicest one I've seen. At least they list the advertised spring rates and they are at least in a useable range. Most of the Egay stuff I have seen doesn't list the spring rates, the rates are the same on all 4 corners and the collars are too long and have to be cut before installing them. But as said before get proper rate and length QA1 springs.
BUT...after reading your other posts it appears you still have stock shocks...and if that is the case save your money and buy shocks first.
