Tanabe gf210 on ebay

i'm looking to get a set of these springs, and i found them for sale on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/TANABE-GF210-SPRI...QQcmdZViewItem

is that legit? i mean, i hope those are not fakes. i have heard stories about Teins and what not being fake on ebay...

has anyone bought these springs on ebay, and from that seller?

Thats the company I bought my Tanabe GF210's from. Easy transaction, being I lived in Vt it took 5 days to recieve them. Was very happy.

BTW make sure you get a rear camber adjustor rod. The drop totally **** up the camber.

yup, already got that covered.
hopefully the Mazdatrix camber adjuster (the single subframe link) can dial out enough negative camber so it's not at issue.

i wonder what the drop will do to the suspension geometry in the front?

That's my car IDK though, that pic isn't the greatest. The front looks like it sits higher than it really does, I guess it's the shadow on the top of the front tire.

Here's a before and after of the rear tires:

that's a good drop.
my stock suspension is in great shape, and on the S5 it is the same suspension as the turbo comes with, even though i have the base model. add to this some weight reduction on my car, and i have a lot of wheel gap! might be a little worse (more gap) than your before pic.
