Default anyone ever hear of road magnet springs?

Before we get into this let me just say that I prefer coilovers and understand you usually get what you pay for but I came across a set of road magnet lowering springs and was wondering if anyone ever heard of them or even tried them before. The company of course claims that the ride quality feels like stock. They boast a 2'' drop and 100% satisfaction is guranteed or your money back 100%. They usually run around 200-300 a set. I'm still very skeptical about how great these are even with the gurantee. Has anyone heard or tried them before? If the ride quality is great and you can get these for a good price then why not right?

heres a link https://www.roadmagnet.com/

I guess it really depends on how low you really wanna go huh? I guess it'll look fine with the stock gs350 spyder wheels on it with at 2'' drop. I can always upgrade when get new wheels later on. Anyone have pictures of their ride with the road magnets? what mods needed to be done if any for that low of a drop on stock wheels?

i don't know how "stock" the ride will be if it lowers 2"...tanabe nf210 ride is near stock and it only lowers the GS by 1.1" front & 0.8" rear. i can only assume that road magnet springs that lower 2" will give a more firmer/harsher ride than what tanabe nf210 springs give. if ride quality is important to you, make sure you buy the correct spring...

Well..honestly winter is coming up so I might was well use this opportunity to save more money and instead of getting coilovers like I originally though I might was well try to get bags lol. Bags vs coils what produced better ride quality. I haven't searched it yet tbh, and I know that ride quality is going to suffer some but I dont mind.

they each have their pros and cons. bags will all depend on how you have your dampening set on your shocks and how much air pressure is in the bag for comfort. for coils it all depends on the dampening set on your shocks and the springs rates for the springs. ive had both set ups before and i enjoyed both.
