Has anyone tried these? For under $80 bucks shipped, this would cover my install cost easily for what it would cost me for name brand ones. There's always a catch

Cheap ebay Lowering Springs

Get ready to get burned
Personally I'd cut my springs before eBay crap went on

OP are you serious? Even if I owned a Civic I wouldn't put them on just because of the cost. That cost screams garbage, and suspension to me is as important as brakes/tires. Definitely not worth going the cheap.route.

OP, go to the classifieds and buy a set of used name brand springs. I'd explain why you shouldn't use the eBay ones, but to be honest, "$80 eBay springs" should tell you everything you need to know.

@OP do it if you want it to look good but drive like absolute ****. Really though, it's not worth the money or effort to put those on. Save up for some good stuff, you'll be thankful in the long run

But they are "Speed Daddy's"!!!
The below statement is actually listed on one of the sellers other ad's which shows EXACTLY the same springs, with a different image background and different price: "If item is questionable, please consult your local professional/mechanic before making purchase." Amen to that! |

Lol the spring rates are half of OEM. That should be a 1995 Chysler New Yorker ride right there! Very comfortable and like floating on a cloud. Enough body roll to scrape the doors in a turn, but very comfortable!
