Traditional Coilovers requires the movement of the spring perch to determine the ride height, causing a reduction in suspension travel and inudce coil spring binding. The bottom shock fork / connector is threaded to allow height adjustments to each drivers need without having to shorten the suspension travel by maintaining the original spring perch location. With this function, each driver can lower the center of gravity to achieve better handling, without sacrificing ride quality.

I say get em. These look ok and will serve it purpose. Lower the car, you can always adjust damper and preload to get it to work for you.

For the price....you cant go wrong

fyi, these coilovers are made taiwan. I did some research and yes they mainly for honda. But i heard they didn't get good reviews from the honda community, so you can take a stab at it and try it out and let us all know compare to megans or k-sport.
