Like the title states. Anyone know what springs these are. I bought them off a member from this board, withhim claiming they are eibach sportlines for a awd 2g. I was always under the impression sportlines were always RED. But these are PURPLE!

Intrax springs are purple, but I think a darker shade. I've seen springs on ebay that are purple also......

Uuuh, you got screwed. Those are paperweights.

Eibach prints their logo onto the spring.

Looks like ebay springs. Intrax are definitely darker and yes eibachs are red with their numbers on. What struts did he tell you they were?

 

[Sneezin]

I bought them out of this thread from this user.....

He said they were kyg's with eibach sportlines

 

[Sebba]

I believe you meant KYB...

Shoulda gotten a pic before you handed over the cash. At least you didn't get taken for too much. File a paypal dispute.

Definitely looks like ebay no name knockoffs.

They're KYB GR2's which are stock replacement struts, not meant to lowered on. And yea, i'd say ebay springs. Comparing to intrax some more and those definitely are them.

Yeah...kinda rwlaized that by now. What ever it was only $50. I will hold onto them for now. I may put them on just to see the drop on them. But will put my eibach pros back on after if i dont like them.

You're going to blow them very quickly if they aren't already.

These struts in the pic above or my tokiko's that my eibach pros are currently on?. The tokiko blues that the pros are on are currently on the car and still in very good condition

 

[Sebba]

The ones you bought.

 

[Sneezin]

Ahh yea i gotchya i figured they would blow quickly

I cant see/make out any of the markings in the pics but you should contact the seller and get your money back!! Also, if you don't care or plan to finally keep them I would make sure they're not blown...at the very least lessen the preload on the springs and check the rebound of the shock after full compression.

My advice: always ask lots of questions and request pics before buying anything in the future.
