Counterfeit Eibach’s or not?
I see your point. It is odd that the logo is not there. I don't think you have a problem, and A-Plus probably wouldn't even know if there was one. But I would certainly send that picture in an email to Eibach and ask them.
My prokit springs are wrapped in poly-vinyl tubing. I've never seen a set of sportlines to know if they are wrapped or not. And mine where not that bright red. Mine are a dark red.

I just put my Eibach's and Devon's on this weekend and I can tell you they ALL had Eibach writen on them and the part #'s. If you read the instructions, I know HA HA read the instructions?, It clearly says they are to be installed so the wrighting is not upside down. So if you ahve no wrighting how do you know which end is up? After having just done 2 seperate cars with 2 seperate sets of Sportines and BOTH had the wrighting on them I'd say you could have an issue here. However having delt with A + and Jason before I can tell you if they are fakes HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! He sells what he gets in and if you got screwed it means he got screwed first and didn't know it. Jason is a great guy and I SERIOUSLY doubt he'd ever do anything like this knowingly.
But YES they all have wrighting on them and have a clear rubber like tube wrapped around them too.

I purchased mine back in October, before there was a high demand and low stock for them. I got mine from Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com), which is a very large scale company and only sells the real deal products. I got a good deal on them too, and they came within days of ordering them. I'd highly reccomend ordering from them.
We have worked with Jason @ A Plus many times, you do not have to worry about A Plus, you have genuine Eibach springs, in addition we, Turbo Tech Racing, only carry product direct from the manufacture and will never counterfit any product.
As a follow up to this thread, we were at Crate Engine Depot for a meet this past weekend where Tom sells the Eibach spring kits. He had a display on the wall of the Pro-Kit and the Sportlines side by side.

The one on the left is a Pro-kit front spring and the right is a Sportline rear. You can see the difference in color and branding. There is no Eibach logo on the Sportline. So, there ya go!
Thanks to Biohazard for taking the picture.
