DANG... how can they even sell those springs for that high of a price?

PM me if/when you're ready to buy, and I'll get you a good price.

and why do those ebay springs look weird. like, usually the rear springs are bowed kinda. like wider in the middle. these are all straight.

You are correct, we have "barrel" rear springs that is why it is not possible to cut them and have them seat correctly on thier mounts. Cut away at the fronts though.
