Careful with the cheap coilovers...I have heard stories where they break and/or leak fairly quick..often made with inferior materials...especially cautious if made in China.

Why not some Eibach, H&R or other proven name brand that while lowering the chassis they actually are designed to improve the handling dynamics of the vehicle. Helps with maintaining momentum and keeps more control on windy highways, not to mention can add a little fun back into the driving experience. Also can work with factory shock absorbers with a minimal impact on life expectancy.
