GC is the only coilover sleeve I would trust in that price range or lower. Match them up to some Koni Yellows, you will love them.

tom motorsports are nice and good price...

I love that one perch design and it rides a lil stiff, but I can handle that.

For $100 u cant go wrong

i think in general most (NOT all) of the coilovers sleeve or full coilover have shorter springs (less coils), where as lowering springs like H&R and Eibach I think keep the same amount of coils

I don't really understand the science behind it all but i'm sure it makes a diff.
