They are Falken springs, is anyone running them? They are fairley cheap and have a nice drop. Im not looking to spend alot on lowering springs and I have even debated/considered cutting the factory springs.. Comments?

Never heard of them. I'm guessing a lot of people are going to advise you to stay away from these but for 99 bux, go for it! There has been a lot of happy customers with the infamous Ebay headers maybe this will be another hidden treasure. I think the second cheapest set of springs are the DMS springs. Great stance, proven, lots of happy customers, no sag for 185 shipped.

Good luck with your choice!

Another spring that doesn't advertise its rates. You'd think that would be the most important spec when it comes to springs.

Yea, well most of the people who purchase lowering springs do it as an appearance mod with no thought of how well it will handle. There is this website that lists the spring rates of a number of Lowering springs. Here it is:

I would not buy them. But that is just me. Go with proven springs.
