NEX Coilovers?
I stumbled across these on ebay. They are cheaper than other coilovers. I did a google search and only horror story I saw was one guy with a slammed VW Golf had on crack in half. Does anyone have any experience with this brand

I have no useful information on these but they don't seem to offer much of an adjustment. Personally, that's why I want coilovers.

$645 + $62 = $707. Megan Racing coilovers are $850.
Do you get a $143 difference? Don't know. Quote:

never tried it on yaris before, but I have 2 friends using the nex coilover on their honda accord, and they loved it .
it's really comfy compare to other brands outthere. |

I'm all for a deal, but for me your suspension isn't the place to cut costs.

I would agree...usually...I picked up a set or Tein coilovers for $550 on Ebay. The company placing the auction put "coil over" instead of coilover. No one must have seen it. Now that I have coilovers, I will never go back to normal suspension.

I'll point out, just for information, that we really only have coilovers on the front. The rear remains a spring + shock combo (with or without more adjustment parameters) no matter what you buy.

I have to agree with people here.
With handling, its either you go cheap and regret it down the road. Or buy a quality proven brand/product and be happy for the long haul. I had the choice of being the only Yaris in the US with C-one shock/struts or Tein Coilovers, I went with the Teins out of that they were a good overall buy, and if needed can be overhauled if they get to that point of replacement.
