Default Rear coil conversion?

I've been seeing this in alot of magazines lately.
Autofab makes the coilover kit, it retails for around 559 and includes 2 shocks and coils and mouting brackets.

Has anyone heard anything about them or not?

Unless you have some kind of support for the rear shock towers do not go to a rear coil over. The metal is too flimsey and it will either bend or rip where your shock mounts. I have seen this in some guys cars that try a coilover.
