whats your question (or did you have one)? Those look to be "like" the GW design where you use your factory style shock off the car. You put the threaded tube around the shock body, thus turning it into a coilover strut.

I dont have them, I was just wondering if those would work and be worth the money. How about the drop springs, is that a good price and drop height?

Are those the ones your talking about? They have that $239 price there but I can't tell if thats for an entire kit (all 4 corners) or just for each corner.

Really I would need to know what the spring rate is before I would say they are good or not (and for what aplication they are good).

I can say that there is almost now way you are going to use a 5" drop (car will probubly sit on the ground at 3" drop). Most springs drops are from 1.25" to 2" (2" being REALLY LOW).

I don't "see" anything wrong with them but then again more info is needed to be sure.
