Just remember...you get what you pay for.....

so don't expect to get some high quality part that will work well, last a long time and make your car handle better than it already does for a mear $120......

Dont Do It!!!

Hey I had these tom's Coil overs and they were nothing but a problems.
First they were very loud... the spring cover that goes over the strut shaft is too large so it is always shifting.
Second and most inportant ... The bearings that come with the coilovers to put on so that the spring doesnt lock up when you turn was demosished in the first 2 weeks I owned them!!!

And than upon contacing Tom's they were less then helpful with the problems

All they care about is the Bling Bling!!

I have the same kit installed on my car. I have had a for three months and did not see any problem. The weight for the Front are 350 and the back are 400. At first I installed the other way and it was making the noise but after I took it all apart and reinstalled it back the way it should be. Until now nothing happen yet. Just make sure you install the OEM plastic bushing (on top of the OEM spring cap) back also. If not you will hear noise when you turn. I think its a great kit for that price. I told my friend that I have the Ground Control which is the one he has and he could not tell the difference. But if you have the money get a better one, because I don't know how long will these springs last. So Good luck.
