yea ebay coilovers are not a good option. the rear ones will drop the car 4" at the least and make ur car ride like crap.. take them off.

they're not too small, when you lower the car the strut will compress and the weight of the car will hold them in place

thats what my coilovers do...

This is what happened to me. i bought skunk 2 coilovers and the sleves were to small for the rear. so i made custom sleves that go over my shocks. and i now have a custom skunk2 coilover with a tokico Ill. 5 way adj twin chamber gas shock and my ride is amazing and i can change it depending on auto cross or drag i prefer autocross much much more fun to me goin in a straight line is gay meet me on the back roads near my house and u wont see me until u get to the end of the road.

2 in front, 3 in rear... for the KYB AGX. I tried 4 in the back, and my kidneys were gettin bruised. And when I set the back to 2, my cornering was loose as shit. I leave the fronts on 2 because I don't like messing with the frons.
