for $50 i wouldn't even put them next to my car.

you get what you pay for... look up TEIN or ksport... those are coilovers... what you bought is definitely not a set of coilovers. might make good paperweights though.

Coilovers imply that you have matched shocks and springs, for 50$ I'm betting you have a set of sleeves which are just springs with clamps on them (basically).

It was either sleeves, springs, or jacked up coilovers that aren't any good for him. So for now, lets just wait till he replies with either pics, or a link to it.

i wouldn't use those things. Your suspension is a safety concern. And isn't the point of buying an "upgrade" for a car just that- to "Upgrade." Buying a really cheap shift knob is one thing, buying really cheap bits and pieces that connect your car to the road is completely another.

as the other guys said id be worried about my safety putting those on my car. The last thing you want is for one to crack and fall apart at 70mph on the highway.

Found em (i think). I searched for Lancer Springs and these came up along with some no name springs and those blue Bomz "coilovers".
