I had them and had trouble with a front strut. I had them replaced with Eibachs and have had no more problems. I had them installed by the same place (I think) as you are looking at; it was off Ebay and they were in Anaheim. The place said there was no problem with the springs without even looking at my car; the dealer said the springs were causing a strut bushing/bearing to fail, it happened twice in two months with the Springtechs and has never happened with the Eibachs. Bottom line I would NEVER recommend those springs or that place!

I wouldn't go cheap or with a brand i never heard of on springs...you're riding on these things, you want them to be safe, comfortable and reliable, your cars suspension is very important.
