don't do it...my friend once bought a set of ebay coilovers and after 2 months of daily driving, all 4 dampeners started leaking oil (didn't track, and never hit a pot hole)...the guy babied his car...ended up going for D2 coilovers, another mistake...same thing, dampeners leaked after a year of use....then he went for tein's...and still using them now after 3.5 years (daily driven)

Fact is there are only a few vendors who actually engineer and manufacture the springs and shocks. Companies such as BC, Ground Control and Megan buy in for say $100,000 and have the manufacturer stamp their name (ie. BC, Megan, K Sport, etc.) on the parts and sell them under their name brand. Unless you get into very high end components, they're mostly all by the same vendor.

KW or JIC is your best bet for the G37 right now.
