Great price. But before you lay down that kind of cash, you should find out the following:
1) What's the spring rate? Compare it to other quality coilovers, like Cusco
2) How adjustable is it?
3) Does it come or can you utilize camber plates on these.
I have to agree you get what you pay for. For large suspension components sometimes you're just better off spending the cash to get the good stuff.

hmm.. if NEX, D2, and Omnipower coilovers are related in any way .. then they're all made in Taiwan.
D2 has a website, but I can't find a link to the main site anymore. That is where I snooped around before to see that they have a factory in Taiwan. But anyhow its your decision. They are good for the price I hear, but no one has had them for a long time to know how well they hold up. Also, although D2's coilovers are made in Taiwan, maybe i'm wrong and NEX is a whole different company. *shrug*

good then save up some more $$$$ and get a set of real coil overs
These look like they can be "found in a checkers or pep boys near you" soon.
