just a little side not also....a while back super street had an article about knockoff brands on ebay as well......to sum it up they said that a lot of people put of "brand name" items on ebay that look exactly like the real thing but they are not. What you have to do is look closely at the item and see if it is the same as the real thing. For example when it comes to springs/coilovers most companies have their name brand (tein, skunk2, etc) imprinted on the product, but knockoff ones just have a sticker that is stuck on..........i guess it all comes down to ......you get for what u pay for.....just my 2 cents

counterfeit teins :coffee:

The tiens s-techs are a really nice spring I have them on my sedan and they have been great if your not looking to slam your car there great a little stiffer then stock but still very comfortable for dd and for the price there good.
