They're bound to suck. I don't even need to back it up with why.

It looks like ksport. I'd rather go for megans track coilovers. But if I were you save up your money to buy the real deal. Also depends on what you plan on using the car for. Just remember you get what you pay more. Most of the time you end up paying twice as much for going the cheap way.

Realistically, it will be a made in poorly made coilover that uses the same body as Ksport/FnF/D2 etc etc that are made in Taiwan. They'll have terrible valving that can't control the spring, and any adjustment you make to the "20 way adjustable" damping will have little effect. On the street you're going to be bouncing around and probably have worse handling than stock. On the track you'll realize how underdampened the dampers are and how poor of quality the shock oil is.

you gotta pay to play. although there's tons of replica stuff out there for body and wheels, i don't have much against that. but for coilovers/suspension, that's one part that you really shouldn't go "cheap" on. most important part of coilovers more than anything is the actual valving. i would go with what's been suggested already. megan track/tein flex/monoflex/pss9/kw v3 etc etc

Stock sounds like the ticket to me.
