Default Coilover Conversion Kits

Has anybody had any experience with the below type of kits....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Weld-on-coilov...QQcmdZViewItem

Looks like a good idea in principle - and if done correctly I'd of thought it would work quite well - I know the damping wont be able to be altered but in order to alter ride height etc - would it work???

Anyone shed some light on this???

Yes he buys them off my mate for £40

Check the diameter of your struts to make sure they will fit over without rattling round.
