Cheap BC Racing Coilovers? eBay related.
Thoughts? BC Racing coilovers are made in Taiwan (which is basically china) and the ebay ones are made in China (which is china).

If we're rating crap in levels from 1-10 with 10 being literal garbage...... you can replace the eBay (7) with bc (3). It's still crap but at least it's not ****. Entry level teins or fortune auto is not very much more and you get excellent quality parts. You'd even be better off buying ground control sleeves and putting them on an adjustable shock like an agx, koni yellow or illumina. There are a million better options out there than peicing together garbage.
if cost is the deciding factor as to your equipment selection then a name brand lowering spring on one of the shocks I mentioned above would total somewhere around 600 brand new for everything. It's definitely well within the range of what you're asking about doing.

For FD you can get a set of TEIN Flex Z for under 1k,I would trust their build quality over BC, I've been running their Street Flex with Swift springs for a few years now and they are excellent for every day street use.
I don't know if TEIN has anything for FC in their new line tho.

^^I wouldn't say Teins are alone in cheap shocks, being able to be rebuilt. The BC distributor here offers that service....but probably more than new replacements!
I might have more concerns about a china ebay special than simply the insert. $260 doesn't leave much manufacturing margin for quality springs and sphericals and there's been el-cheapo macpherson struts over here tear-off the upright mounting. For the sake of $400 less than the genuine article, possibly a bit penny wise and pound foolish?
