Really Cheep lowering Springs

I just came across these, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...386587-3846360 i have a gift cirtificate for 75 dollars, are these springs worth their 110 dollar price tag? I was thinking about getting a set of new springs, but i don't think i can resist saving so much money. what do y'all think?

i wouldn't get them unless you find out what the spring rates are and if they'll fit your needs.

I'd stick with the RB springs for street use. They're a proven design and aren't that expensive. Those are complete unknowns and could even be softer than stock.

Never heard of them and they're $18 more expensive than the RB ones.... but what the hell. I mean if you've got a gift cirt and you need springs, then damn well get them! You can't beat $35 for four springs!

And you can be our guinea pig for these ones They look pretty standard with .8" drop.... like RB, ST or Eibach....

Get Em!!

I'll buy them and tell you how they feel compaired to my old saggy ones with 170 000 Kms on them. I have never felt an FB with aftermarket springs, so i won't be the best judge, but i'll tell you guys how much better or worse they are than my stockers.
