It's non dampening, your car will ride like crap.

It's basically cheap cheap cheap chinese struts, probably 200 for the whole set, with some coilover springs & sleeves over it.

I wouldn't do it. Anything having to do with the safety of your vehicle driving on the road, you should NOT cheap out on. You can injure not only yourself, but someone else on the road also.

The only adjustments you can make on these are the ride height which is probably whom they're looking to target, users looking to lower their car. Like Gokou said, these look like some reaaally cheap struts, and is probably better to get a reputable aftermarket spring if you were looking to lower your car. I'd imagine some decent coilovers with adjustable dampening would cost an upwards of $1000+

I have the 430 with the adjustable suspension, couldn't find the exact replacements so I went with the standard OEM KYB struts from NAPA for like $115 each.

Mylparts was the cheapest I could find OEM struts, and it was only like $10 more per strut than KYB
