Lotek springs and struts?

Post by 12vguy »

Hello all, I am looking to lower my car. I have seen a few posts from years back about lotek springs and struts. I a,m wondering how they held up? The low cost seems to got to be true. I was also wondering if I should scrap this idea of buying the strut/ spring set . Maybe buy a set of kyb's and some lowering springs maybe lotek maybe h&r. I would love any input !

So, how did the springs turn out? Obviously the KYB struts/shocks should be good to go handling a smaller drop, but were the springs good enough?

I'm not familiar with Lotek brand, though I must say that their prices are tempting.

Off brand/no-name. They're not going to have the performance or ride characteristics that Eibach would. So if your car's in good condition, I'd spend the money, but if your car's just a little run-around-town and have some fun in that doesn't have the greatest body or mechanics, yeah, get the cheap ones.
