How can this be so cheap??

I was lookin through ebay for some new springs for my car and i came upon this and I was wonderin how in the heck could springs sell for this cheap?? I'm guessing these "coilovers" probably arent that durable.

Oh and one question, are the springs for the 2.5 and the 3.2 the same?

Probably because the shipping is $40 and they are a knock-off/generic no-name brand that may or may not fit.

I wouldn't trust my life on ACME springs.

I was actually looking into these... but decided to install the goldline springs i have already instead...

Wouldn't trust them... but i know they sound tempting...
