Ebay springs are hit and miss. You don't know where they're made, what materials they were made from, or if the claimed rates are accurate. Usually, the rates aren't as well thought out as rates from a name-brand vendor. With our springs, you are certainly looking to pay more, but you're getting a quality product that comes with a lifetime warranty against any sag or defects. The rates are as advertised and every spring is tested before being sold and we have the test data to prove this. In other words, you can buy with confidence.

BTW, this is Kevin, I shot your car for High Performance Pontiac.

Things you risk by going with ebay springs are inconsistent quality, ride heights, spring rates, etc. In some cases with ebay springs I dont even see spring rates advertised.. just ride heights.

My personal preference is I'd never buy ebay specials. Springs are relatively cheap and don't have huge variations in price vs quality.
