Name Brand or No Name Lowering Springs...

Hi all,

Looking to lower my TL but not wanting to pay more then I really need to... What is the major difference I would see if I was to go with no Name lowering springs purchased from eBay for example... Any and all advice is appreciated...

let's seee......
- no name brand = dont know if they are telling the truth with their product. could say one thing, but really is something completely different....for example; fitment. will it fit in the control arms/upper mounts? spring rate - is the spring rate what they advertise? who knows...you could be getting some cheap ass springs that bottom out because its the wrong spring rate....which heads tooo....what kind of steel is used? some chinese weak quality steel? will the springs corrode and snap in half while you're driving!?

I'd cut my springs before buying a no name brand.


In the long run it will cost you more money if you go the cheapo route.

As everyone said, go name-brand. Even the name-brand springs are only a couple hundred dollars. The H&R springs would be a great choice and they're only $226.85.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice on this... Obviously after reading all this I'll go name brand... And also talking with a buddy he suggested that I go with a camber kit aswell.. ..

need for a camber kit is fully dependent on how low you go. many springs will not get into that range

We suggest camber kits to all of our customers if it is within their budget. There's nothing more annoying than getting your new suspension on, getting an alignment, and finding out you're out of spec. That means taking the suspension apart again, and getting aligned again.
