weapon-r is a known company, however the ONLY coilovers i would every trust to give a decent ride are complete ones such as the megan racing or tein superstreet. I just dont trust in any of these add in parts to a suspension

You just have to know the combination for the coilover kits, Jon. For instance, Ground Control/SkunkII with KYB AGXs and Koni yellows (preferred because of adjustability and compression and contraction) shocks. A true coilovers are like the Teins where you get the shocks and coilover in one neat package.
Weapon-R for DSMs? No. For Honduhs, sure. Toss them and get either lowering springs and the right shocks, if you don't want to deal with ride height adjustments. Or get real coilovers, kits or true coilovers.
