and by a "pair" you mean 4 right?

Is it a direct fit for our car?

IMO
what ever you do dont get Skunk2's. I have a set and they make the worse noise at parking lot speed turns. it sounds like they are blowing up!! i have called (the) Skunks up and they said its normal!!
i havent heard anything bad about the GC's though i would go for them if i had to do it all over again.
just remember you get what you pay for!! the GC's might be more money but they have a rep thats worth it.
thats my 2 cents

The story begins...........Well I took 1 hour to to remove all my suspension from all four corners and proceeded to remove one of the front coils from the assembly and what do you know, They don't fit!!!!!!!
I wound them up to the highest setting and they were still around 4 inches to short!! hmmm and this made me just slightly F**KED off. so I have sent them a filthy email saying "please explain"
Wher did I get these from you ask:
Next level motoring.
Would I recomend these?? WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!
I will post an outcome if they/I resove this issue?

how are they too short? it is a coilover, it wont go back together completely until you put it back on the car, and set it on the ground. When you have cheap coilovers like that, when you jack your car up, they just kind of sit on the lower perch, not even close to the top perch. This is why they freakin POP all the time. Hope this helps.
