I finally gave in and tried junkyard coilovers on my 2003 Honda Accord

Was always skeptical of those eBay coilovers. Figured they'd blow out in a month. Found a set on a 2006 Civic Si at Pull-A-Part near Tulsa for $40 total. Cleaned them up, swapped the springs for some $20 Monroes from RockAuto. Been 8 months now and the ride is actually decent. No leaking or clunking. Anyone else had good luck with frankensteined junkyard suspension parts?

Used to think they were junk but you changed my mind on that.

Oh, careful there - I didn't actually change my mind on them. I just said they worked okay for one specific thing (you know, like that cheap tool you only use once and it holds up fine).
