I know people who have gotten ebay coilovers and over a period of time (about a year) the coilover sleeve will rust and you won't be able to adjust them!

i had em for a long time , i've had them on multiple cars , crappy ride good value. good looking drop . end of the line. oh and that link? yeah they get like that when you dont screw them onto the shock/strut , and don't be fooled on 90% of cars other than hondas you will not get 0-4 inch , maybe 0-3 inch sometimes more sometimes less , for xa/xb the most you can go before losing all shock travel and bottoming out is approx 3 inches up front and with most of the rear springs about 2.5 or 2.75 in the rear.

oh and another thing that honda site talks about mushrooming , with the suspension design and shock design aka lower spring perch makes that impossible. the threaded part cannot start to mushroom given the design with these cars. yes the rear setups of the ebay kits are garbage but the fronts are pretty damned good. the only drawback to the rear is if you do not position the threaded perch correctly you can get rubbing , scraping , and spring noise.
