Rev9 hyper street 2 coil overs? Or what are my options?

Alright Alright, I know with these forums the Golden rule is you get what you pay for. But please read the post entirely.

But, here is my situation. Just put a motordyne exhaust on the car and my car sits too low. Like scary low with the exhaust on. When I purchased the car the previous owner put lowering springs in, from what I have measured it seems to be a 2inch drop from stock. 25ish inches from ground to fender on both sides (19inch wheels)

The front right part of the car is squeaking terribly now on any bump or alteration to road.

So I do think I need new springs or struts or both not sure yet

Hence why I'm thinking of snagging hyper street 2 coilver from rev9?


How terrible are these? My goal is to get something to lift my car a little from where it currently sits and also just get by for now until I become more financially stable (medical issues) and able to use this car as a weekend car and have more mo ey to fix it up with quality parts.

What other options would you suggest in my shoes if I need to raise the car a little while needing to replace the front right suspension parts? Again tight on money but need to get car up and replace front right while not breaking the bank for now.

Honestly 700 is my top end right now. I got to buy stuff to install the parts (low pro jack etc) was going to have a shop do it but they're saying 800 bucks just to put the coilovers in. Everything I've seen online forums and videos show about 3 hours of work max. Soooo rather just buy the tools and do it myself.

I've never heard of Rev9 but am going to assume its a eBay brand system, you can correct me if I'm wrong.
Provided you don't have an AWD model just buy these:

Under your $700 price point currently, reliable, comfortable, and from a trusted manufacturer.
In this particular case you can do it once and do it right for under $700. No need to buy something crappy for $700 to only change it out down the road and since it is almost Black Friday/cyber Monday if you can hold out a bit longer I'm sure there will be even better deals to be had.

Edit: Here you go again:

Under $600 with free shipping.

Edit 2: Rev9 coilover review from CivicX:

Exactly what I was expecting. Stay away IMO.

I'd cut out more than 3 hours for the install. Rears are super easy but the front will take a good amount of time to get the OEM pieces out without jacking up your fender. Might be a non issue for you though since previous owner put on springs. Plus, there will be a bit of adjusting to get everything even.

Also, speaking from a bonehead move I made, read the specifications for your set-up. I followed a BC coilover install video when I installed my Fortune Autos. Drove around for a few months and hated the ride quality. Ended up pulling them off, cleaned them up, and it wasn't until I was packing everything up nice and neat for re-sale that I realized the pre-load for Fortune Autos were different than that of BC's...

Lude hit the nail on the head. Those Teins are the best bang for your buck and they're name-brand from a sponsor. Checks every box and come in under budget.
