Default Thoughts on ebay lowering springs?

Just wanted to see what people thought of some ebay lowering springs. I know some people have had good experience with ebay head lights so what about these they are about half the cost of ones from AM. Here are a few Im looking at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TENZO...Q5fAccessories

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-D...Q5fAccessories

Could I get away with theses plus a good alignment without cc plates.

The old saying "you get what you pay for" most likely applies here.

If you bought a set of 2 inch drop springs, I hope you plan on getting CC Plates otherwise you will never get a good alignment. You will always have a negative camber. So add at least an extra $170 for cc plates and you have over the total price of regular namebrand springs. Plus with a 2 inch drop you might be scraping. Hope you drive on nothing but brand new roads. Here in Washington state you would be screwed.
