I've read and heard the same thing.
They've both cheap chinese/asian made pieces of junk that high school kids put on their cars because they're powercoated a cool color and have "adjustable damping"
Like people need that.
If you're so concerned with looks, why not spend $25 and powercoat the sleeves of the Progress CS-II?
Like I mentioned in the other thread, at this price point the ONLY coilovers I'd recommend are progress CS-II and the function/form.
I'm not sure if function/form has a warranty, but the progress CS-II has a 1 year warranty, and you can pick your rates. You can't pick your rates with the function/form.
Also progress offers replacement shocks after the warranty for $68 each, and new springs if you'd like different rates for just $90.
Hard to beat.
