It's common sense.. It takes money to make a quality product.
Poor quality seals, shims, valves, alloy, shafts will reduce the cost, but reduce the quality.
So how long would you expect these to last until they begin to leak?
A small company can't mass produce something, therefore the costs are higher.
Small companies are good at making a very good piece of hardware at a very high cost.
Unless this coilover is made in a sweat shop with 2.00 /hr labour, then at that point what kind of quality are you going to expect for 500?
Common sense also tells me that companies that sell product lower then there cost will not make any money. Perhaps you found the one company that has more money then brains and want to give away good coilovers for below cost.
Either way, good luck. I would recommend spending Bilstein, KW, Apexi, BC or Koni+GC btw, and they won't break the bank and weaksauce has the Koni's for about 900 or so.
Save yourself some money and get the Eibach springs and get 1" drop on good OEM shocks atleast you'll get 40K miles+.

lol...this is going to end badly.
A car slammed "on it's nuts" with "-1 cambers" on $500 sweatshop coilovers.
It'll ride fine for the first little while. I think I'd rather spend the extra money to get something worthwhile rather than THROW AWAY $500 on something you're going to put in the garbage in a few months anyway.
You could have just waited 2 months and put the $500 in the trash. It would have saved you the pain of installing them on the car.

there's always exceptions to the rule, however your statement is generally true.

a product that will show you a dyno chart with a history of experience is the only way to know how well the shock will perform

s2k elitists, I love it.
Go with that you can afford man. Some people just don't understand priorities or pretend to live beyond their means, etc. I'm not calling anyone out, but EVERYBODY has their own priorities. I'm 21 as well. I'm making payments on the car myself and am paying my insurance. I have no JDM parts on my car, no expensive intake, suspension, etc.
But you know what? I enjoy the crap out of my car. I put 31k miles on it in the first year of ownership. Countless mountain runs (about once a month) , an autox, etc. Three sets of tires, 7 oil changes, 3 tranny/diff flushes.
Have it, enjoy it for what it is, and do things to it as you see fit. Who cares what everyone else thinks.
Sure the coilovers might not be the best, but if you're not tracking your car, etc, then does it really matter? I laugh at all these people with JDM this, JDM that, but then are afraid to even drive their cars in the rain, let alone take them to tracks or even to the mountains.
