Looking at getting springs

So I was looking around and found these...

http://www.k2motor.com/clcob05tom.html

just wanted to get everyone's opinion. they're cheap, but wanted to see if anybody has these or can recommend these.

BUMP!

Can anybody help a brother out? The site will be shut down for a little bit do to relocation and I'd like to order before then.

BUMP for the night crew

Well I got the Eibach Sportlines. Modern Performance has the best price BTW... Ride quality actually felt better than stock....slighty stiffer, but in a sporty way. Body roll is decreased significantly and there's no more nose-dive under hard breaking. Best money I have spent.

Cheap springs = cheap ride

i realize that you get what you pay for but look at the ebay intakes and lights and mufflers. all eibach is is a name brand. (same with borla, magnaflow, injen, and flowmaster) it's the same product pretty much without the name brand.

I haven't heard much about them, honestly... IMO, springs are a little more important/complex than a simple intake. If you wanted to, you could probably build one using the modular plastic pieces that autozone or whoever sells and have NO problems. But, as said before, A LOT is riding on your springs...

For the 2.2L, the ebay intake is awesome for $50, no complaints of any kind.

u pay for the name however, u also pay for the satisfaction n warranty. my buddy bought cheap springs, n it was terrible. it gave u a headache whenever he hit a bump. do it if u want. u'll see what i mean after u drive 100 miles with them. and wrong about the same product diff price. usually more expensive, the better quality. the cheaper price, the cheaper material. try it.

and with exhaust n intakes, there are diff claims, on gain as well as sound. look into it more before u buy cheap springs, and **** up ur cv joints/boots, and/or struts

i did that with a k&n filter. at the time K&N was the only had one for the sai, and i wasn't paying 275 bucks for one. so i paid 125 for it all together. even before the ebay ones.

It is a great ride. No complaints. It is not too harsh at all.

i bought the Eibach Sportlines....they are definitely worth the money....yes you may be paying for a name...but they got that name for a reason....QUALITY....

cheap springs are just that....cheap....different manufacturing processes and heat treatment of the springs are what counts....anybody with a machine can run a piece of steel rod through it and call it a spring...but that's where it stops...its the actual difference in process and how it's tested and proven that gives name brands their name....it may be good for a little bit but in the long run they will fail before something that has been time tested and proven again and again....so far i haven't had any problems with my eibachs...think about it...spend that extra 100 dollars and you will be more satisfied with the end result instead of having to worry about the fact that you bought cheap springs....i know if i bought cheap springs i would constantly worry about if they are going to fail in a multiple of ways.....that's just my two cents....
