These are not the drop zone coil--overs, but i also don't know who the hell makes them, some dude today was putting full coil-overs on his car and the only have like 15 miles on the he said. he put them on and rolled out and found full coil-overs in his price range the same day! so i took them, but it concerns me on how small the look ... they're not even taller to revert the diameter on the spring. Am I okay with these until i get the money together for the BG's or should I junk these?

No included dampers = junk.

Look like cheap off brand coil over sleeves from ebay.
I wouldnt put them on the car.....
"Oil Leak ? What oil Leak ? Oh, Thats Just The Sweat From All The HorsePower!!"
garbage.,... looks universal.. way to small (short) for jbodies.
Mk, what if I junk the springs and set bigger springs on the little silver pieces? Junk still?
So can I just buy new springs and fit them on the adjustable part of these?

there'd be no point. any DECENT spring of this type would come with it's own adjusters.

Oh okay then, I shall wait as I suggested to myself earlier
yeah man, i bought those, put them one drove home, next day had them taken off and they are junk now, worthless, get some eibach springs or some ground controls, or if you want to save up some money, get the tein basics or the tein ss.
Modding my j since I found the org
I have the Koni sports springs and struts and they are definently worth the money spent I went cheap before and it was a mistake rough ride and bouncyness ...

not necessarily, eibach/ground controls are just a spring setup and work rather well for us.
But those also aren't "coil overs".

Yeah but I would still take a spring over a coilover u lower a coilover too low and u get that bounce and hard ride back and it looks like that ghetto hack job people do by heating or cutting the springs...

Your stupid, height has nothing to do with how good or bad a car rides. Not one clue about suspension what so ever.
Ok how bout when some people lower the car so far down that they bottoming out have had bad experiences with a coilover setting too low and got a really crappy ride and bounce outta of it .... On my Koni yellow setup with Koni springs it gives it a nice drop but doesn't give it a bouncy ride nor does it handle like crap...
cheap coilovers give cheap rides... my car is lowered without even messing with my shock travel

If anyone on this site is close to having that problem, it is AZNCAV.

I don't think I'm even close to bottoming out, but I can say my inner fenders are not to happy with me. Lol

so you do an improper adjustment/install, and it gives you issues? you don't say...

With the Teins or some other coilovers you can set them too low and get a crappy ride, however with the B&G and STD coilovers you can lower or raise the car 2 ways. They have the conventional adjustable spring perches like the Teins, this can allow the strut to bottom out if they are slammed because the strut travel is moved in relation to the spring perch(crappy ride)...the B&G and STD's actually have the mounts the bolt to the car adjustable and can move up and down the strut body, at full lowness of this part of the adjust-ability the strut/spring relation are untouched and will ride the same as if they were lifted. By far a better design.
Ok and I will say u guys made good points but what will ride better great struts with crappy springs or oem struts with really good coilovers .....
if you lower at all you shouldnt use oem struts, also the words crappy springs doesnt belong in a sentence when speaking of suspension.
reall good "coilovers" have no need for any kind of struts. why? well ill leave that for you to find out.
