What do people think of these Coilovers?
Thinking about buying some. Will they be ok with the 100mm rear springs insted of the ones supplied?

Well, I was going to to buy some supersport Coilovers for £305, but these have come up for £330 second hand, but brand new, so I thought for the extra £25...

Cuz I like them low, and 60mm isn't enough

You looking at the old RSX Scott or the new Kryptons? Ive got the Kryptons and they're class. Best mod I did on my car by far. And yes the shocks will be fine as I have 100mm rears

i have some of the older ones with adjustable top mounts for sale for 250. I thought they were very good. Used them on my corsa for last couple of years.
