Pros: none
Cons: decreased handling, unreliable, ebay quality, 100% rice.
if you must get any out of the 4, get the Megans...but even those are bottom of the barrel when comparing quality of product to bigger names that are out there.
i wouldnt compromise one of the most important features of my car with cheap products. i can understand simple bolt ons like mufflers and intakes, but suspension? remember, you get what you pay for...if you throw on those dinky springs on your stock shocks, you are gonna be bouncing around everywhere you go. if you cant spend a decent amount of money on some coilovers, then go with a spring/shock combo. like i said, i wouldnt compromise the integrity of the car's most important feature.
a lot of people go with eibach springs/tokico shocks. ive ridden in an IS300 with that combo and it feels really good, almost as good as my coilovers. the springs arent really as important as the shocks, with springs you are buying ride height and some stiffness. Tanabe makes great lowering springs with spring rates you can choose from, which is nice. and some companies like Tokico have a slight dampening adjustment which is good to have to dial in just how stiff you want your ride to be.
