Default are these coilovers ok?

i might have convinced my other half that i need new suspension on my pride and joy, but my finances cant justify too much
i have found these on eBay, but i am not too sure what to do as i have never heard of them, what do you lot think:
V-MAX NEW COILOVER KIT-ADJ RIDE,FIT S4/RS4/A4 QUATTRO'S on eBay, also Suspension Components, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 19-May-08 18:02:02 BST)

other ideas welcome, as long as they dont cost too much
i would really like coilovers, but i dont mind going for build quality and opting for good top adjustable suspension with a 40mm or maybe 60mm drop

I run a set and they are just fine, good ride and handling. Virtually impossib;e to tell the difference to the FK's i removed

I wish i knew, i took it for MOT and she failed on a leaky shock, i couldnt believe it. FK were less than helpful when trying to source a replacement, so i bought the Vmaxx ones.
A year on they are still going strong, shame about the brakes and missing CAT, but thats another story,lol
