So i bought a set of Eibach pro kit springs from a guy that i know for $20. The rear springs were cut about half an inch he said because he wanted the perfect ride height. Ive been wanting a set of coilovers so I can adjust the height to exactly what I want but I dont want to spend around $1500. I saw this on ebay and was wondering if it would be worth to get this or just use the Eibach springs that I have.

Name brand or go home. Serriously, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FOR A CAR ON EBAY!!!! Only time you buy on ebay is if it's either a rebuilt name brand with a warranty, or it's a fairly new/used name brand item. Most of the crap on ebay is just that, crap that will break, and leave you either stranded on the road, or dead, because a part failed at 70 MPH. Serriously, don't take cheap/short routes when it pertains to anything suspension wise, it's litterally a matter of life and death when you get down to the suspension.

if the rear springs r cut defiantly don'tuse those. Springs have a certain spring rate, u go cutting into them especially with a torch u screw spring rate up and possibly have early spring failier or have a s*&t ride quality
