Eibach Sportline Question? New member help please

Hey guys whats up? I have been on the cobalt ss network for a long time now but never joined till recently.

My car: 2007 Black Cobalt LT 5-speed
TWM Short Throw
2-12"Insignia's, Insignia amp, capacitor

Now the ?

I am looking at getting a set of used Eibach sportline lowering springs. I was told they only have roughly 5000 miles on them and he wants around $100 for them. Is this a good deal? Also are the springs hard to install on the car. I know I will need an alignment afterwards.

Thanks a lot

Buy them, I had 15000 on my old springs and sold them for 150 so 100 is a good deal......I've had springs on all three of my ss/sc's I only had to get an alignment once....installation is a breeze if you have some mechanical ability
