98-02 accord lowering springs on a TL?

Someone posted a set of 98-02 accord lowering springs on craigslist locally for $80. But he didn't specify whether they are for a v6 or a 4 cylinder, or a brand. he just said they were new, and had never been installed. I'm pretty much sure they would fit, but I'm not sure if there would be any problems if they aren't for a v6. But i thought for the price it would be worth looking into. thanks in advance for any help! and ill post the link to the ad so you can see the picture.http://tricities.craigslist.org/pts/3629641496.html

If its not for the v6 the spring weight won't be right for the weight of the tl. H&R had to even redesign a rear spring for the tl because the v6 spring from the accord sagged on the tl.

I talked to the guy earlier, and he said they were for a v6, and were made by "matrix motorsports" so they deff. sound like an Ebay brand. he also has a set of accord v6 coil over sleeves w/o struts from the same manufacture for $40??, any info/opinions on these? I feel pretty sketchy about coil overs from Ebay though.
