Thumbs up for all of you wondering about springtech

i know there has to be some of you wondering about the suspensionmax brand on EBAY selling the really cheap springtech shocks/struts for the 2nd gen rex. well i recently purchased a set of 4 springtech shocks/struts off of ebay for $190~ delivered to my house for my 87 GXL. first things first, there was very little communication on their end, i sent about 4 emails, and called and left a detailed message because my order seemed to be taking a bit longer than the "1-6 day" delivery time (i even added 2 days to process the order.) finally i receive a call from one of their parts managers telling me they had a back order on the parts and it should get there shortly. well when my parts came (2 weeks after i paid for them) i got ahold of my buddy to help me install them. we put some brand new Eibach Pro springs on the struts and took it for a test drive. the ride was noticeably stiffer than the old stock AAS suspension(2 of 4 struts were blown) even just around the block. i know theres a little break in period for these type of parts so after close to 100 miles on them i figured i would make this post cause i cant seem to find much info on this brand. so far the ride quality is actually pretty nice, its a little bumpy, but very tolerable(plus i like it that way.) the cornering seems pretty tight and theres much less acceleration squat. the car sits pretty nice with this combo also, and i can still go over SPEED BUMPS!! As i continue to put miles on them i will update this thread if there is any interest in it. But heres a pic of how the car sits with the new suspension set up.
