Anyone heard of L3 Racing Coilovers?

I found a brand new set of L3 racing coil overs for the 3rd gen TL. Problem is it only 50$ on ebay and Im wondering if anyone has ever heard of this company. 50$ for that seems very cheap to me. If i hear good things im gonna go ahead and get them and have them put on the day they get here lol my 20's make mine sit to high. let me know. Thanks.

I wouldn't mess with anything that cheap...take that $50 and buy yourself a roof spoiler from ebay or something. Don't even waste your time or get yourself pissed off. Those are probably those universal ones that you have to put o-rings around your shock to keep the threaded main part attached to it. Id say they are Junk just from the price

i wouldnt say you have to spend 800 to get good ones, you can get tein basics or ht spec type 1s for around 600ish. but ya 50 dollars...pretty sure they are shitty

^ Absolutely correct...I should have specified that I meant coilovers with adjustable damping

jk i found it.... looks exactly like ground control coil sleeves but ive never heard anything of this brand.

btw, i've heard koni shocks + GC = a good combo .. but ground controls are about 350ish i believe

ground control + koni yellows are very good....better than some lower end coilovers.

Alot people use them on E36 M3's and they say there great. It all depends on what shock and spring combo you go with.

those things are made out of the cheapest crap around......lol....

if you not trying to spend a lot of money get some megan or tein s tech springs......be sure though your shocks wont last long and be a little bouncy like a civic....

in the long run your gonna have to spend some money to make your suspension run good lowered
