What's wrong with this price for springs?

So I'm looking for a set of H&R springs (50103) and I came across this site. This seems like a typo because the usual price range is around $200-250. Further more, they don't mention any particular vehicle that it should fit.

Thoughts?

^ That crossed my mind as well. One would think they would specify to which spring you would want though.

I spoke to a rep and he didn't really have an answer other than "it probably is for a pair and not all 4." He told me to hit up H&Rs website for accurate pricing lol. He also mentioned since it says "Usually ships in 4-6 weeks," that they don't have them in stock. I was going to ask him why it didn't specify a certain vehicle but I figured if he didn't have an answer for the first question, he probably wouldn't have an answer for the second. I might call later to see if I can get someone else on the phone.

if you really want H&R there is a listing in the black market right now:

https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/h-r-sport-springs-51858-99-01-acura-tl-%2A%2A%2Avery-cheapppp%2A%2A%2A-794061/

i was actually going to buy these but then i saw another listing for cheaper Eibachs which go lower. it doesnt hurt to buy springs used because they essentially last forever.

Thanks for the heads up, I actually was talking with him. I've researched the 51858s (designed for the Accord and TL) and I've read that they sag in the rear (for some) after some time and that the 50103s were specifically redesigned for the TL. Not sure how true this is but just to be safe I'm looking for the 50103s. True about buying used. I would definitely save some money and wouldn't mind used springs. Thanks again!

the 51858 does have a tendency to sag but some people that i've talked to on here said that it didnt sag on them. only people with systems in the back? but then again better to be safe then sorry.
