Well, take what I say with a grain of salt since im new to suspension and these cars in general (just got mine last March after driving "family vehicles").

IMO, I wouldnt do it. These could be chinese rip offs based on another manufacturers design. What id be concerned with is that the quality control is not going to be as good as the top manufacturers. Again, im assuming and id advise you check on who actually makes the unit. Pretty sure SVE and SR performance are just a name thrown on products and not their own in house designed products.

Next thing is that do you want to take a chance with your suspension? This could be a major safety concern with products designed for straight line, curves, etc. Any part can fail, but rolling the dice on a cheaper unit of less quality "could" have a nasty result. Another possibility could be a part breaking only to have to replace it with better quality, now you're even more in the hole.

Again, Im just speculating and could be completely wrong. You could get years of trouble free, I dont know.Hoping to hear from guys more knowledgeable, as this is also a learning experience for myself.

Although its not a coilover set up, you may want to consider koni oranges, with some springs. Ive seen good deals on springs from some of the more reputable companies. May not be much more than the sve kit.

Id also recommend googling sve coilovers, BUT, throw the word "forum" at the end. This weeds out alot on the search results and brings up various mustand forum discussions.

Best of luck,
Eric

If you truly want to upgrade your suspension go with a set of quality coil overs. The aftermarket lowering springs for strut / shock setups are way too soft if you want serious handling. I was lucky and a friend of mine was taking his car back to stock, so I bought all the pieces in my sig. My ‘14 GT Track Pack handling was transformed. Night and day difference. No more nose dive under braking. No more front bumper to the sky under hard acceleration. No more wheel hop. Ride quality is excellent. And it is cheap and easy to tweak your ride quality by changing spring rates. I have 450s in front and 250s in back. You get what you pay for. Good luck!

I don't have SVE or SR but I have no complaints with koni oranges and eibach springs. I since bought a set of BC coilovers 2nd hand, but I moved to an area with shitty roads and I'm seriously considering selling the BC coilovers.
