better then i thought

so i took a chance cu i had a lil extra money after i bought my halo projectors, so i decied to buy the $50 lowering springs from the same dealer on ebay. hers the link


so after i installed them about an hour ago and wasnt hard at all after i put them on i measured and nothing ahd changed so i went on about a 5 mile trip just to see how they felt. i noticed that it was very stif thourgh the corners and very responsive. any ways after i got back i mesaured again and it droped it about a inch and a half all the way around deffinatly worth ithttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...spagenameZWDVW

Good luck, your car will be messed up within a months time buying cheep springs like that. Your life is only worth 50$ for non-named springs who no one knows anything about.

When you're ready to submit your "proof" that $50 no-name springs are just as good as Eibach's progressive springs, I'm ready to hear it and to bash you mercilessly.

If that's your belief, why not buy a better quality wheel as opposed to just painting stock ones? Contradiction?

Good deal WReckn, just measure your ride height once every couple of months and see if it remains the same. If the ride is good and the height is maintained all the more power to you.

LMAO because my wheels do not affect the performance of my car, at all. OEM wheels are some of the highest quality wheels you can find, they might not be the lightest, but quality is quite high. i didnt do these because i was too cheap to get others, i did them because i love the style and thought the scheme i applied would look great.

thats great man im not going to hate on you for buying a cheaper product, im all about saving money. however, there are some things you dont go cheap on, springs being one of them.
