They look like any other coil sleeve kit.
Personally, I wouldnt rock them. For that kind of money, you're better off saving a bit more and getting some d2's or equivalent coilovers (after all, you're going to need a cert anyway).

Yeah seems kinda spendy for a no-name brand.

Don't forget you will need a cert for WOF.

I could be wrong but they also look to have plastic deviders between the two springs and on the base which wear out very quickly...

there are some better options around with all metal parts which last much longer....

Nope your not wrong... I got a set of these from speedfactor once (not in a honda though) I had them on old stock shocks so heh whos knows how good they were... never again though go for D2's/BC/Daiyamas or any other flavour you like.

The second smaller spring at the top is a keeper. It keeps everything nice and compressed and where it should be in the event of the shock extending a huge amount. Without it, given enough extension, the bottom spring could become uncaptive and may not relocate properly when the weight comes back on it.
