Those are just coilover sleeves. If you don't have great struts, stay away from them. Get springs/struts or true coilovers.

If you're not thinking about upgrading your struts, you'll get blown struts, bouncy ride, etc.

What factors into blown struts? Does it have to do with buying crappy parts, drop, or other factors?

Higher spring rates and the drop. Factory struts aren't meant to perform out of factory spec. You'll need some nice struts like Koni yellows if you want to do things right.

What kind of car are you putting this on? http://www.optauto.com has some good deals for a lot of Honda suspension stuff. Cheapest way to go normally is Eibach + Tokico. Both are reliable and reputable.
