Default Just got Eibach Pro Kit springs. Did I get wrong kit?

Here is the link to the auction that I won:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_3415wt_1167

I just got them in mail yesterday and I got silver springs which confused the hell out of me because I expected them to be black.

So I thought maybe they are the wrong ones. I went back to the ebay ad and it says it fits GT as well.

But I am not sure if UPR series makes any difference?? The springs got Eibach and UPR series logos on them rather than Eibach only?

Should I be concerned? I really hope that it is no big deal.

Any input would be appreciated.

I just called UPR Products and they confirmed that they are Eibach 3510.140 Pro Kit.

Just that they are painted silver and rebadged as UPR product with their own part # 2700-01

I sure am relieved about this.

Thanks for the quick responses anyway!

No idea about that.

But I would not think UPR owns Eibach as I think Eibach is a much bigger company than UPR.

Unless it is just a parent company who knows.

Ford Racing sells the Eibach "Drag Launch" springs under the FR name also. Atleast they used to, not sure if thats the case now.
