Seems like springs but that are able to be precompressed to have the ride lowered up to 4 (!) inches on stock dampers.

if they are progressive rate springs it should not over abuse the stock dampers. seems really cool and you can't beat that KILLER price and even has a ONE year warranty.

You have to wonder how they can manufacture and sell an adjustable set for less than half what "brand name" springs cost. Oh wait, I know.

Well... I wouldn't buy anything from a company with bad grammar and poor spelling in their ad....

And, from the pic, those are not progressive rate springs. Constant wire/coil diameter and coil spacing says otherwise.

Well first off I just wanted to say hi and try and see what answers I could give. so for the first and most important that I am seeing is how can we sell them so cheap? Very Very simple! THERE IS NO MIDDLE MAN!!! We buy our products direct from KYB through special ordering. Our goal isnt to rip people off, but to offer a great product at an affordable price. that simple. Now I havent seen nor understood why people automaticly assume that if someone doesnt use perfect word use or whatever, then that makes them a bad company.. sorry to say it, but if thats what will stop you from buying, then your out of luck with tein, eibach, skunk2, and pretty much anyone else. Big or small people make mistakes. We make our own listings. So we dont have anyone who professioned in grammer school. lol

As far as the pics on our listings go, they are to show you what the kit looks like. Each kit we sell is specific to the vehicle it is listed for. So in turns each kit will vary. We have personally test fitted this kit on every setup that we offer on ebay and run tests on them for a minimum of 6 months before we offer them to the public. That is why we can guarantee fitment and back our products with a 1 year warranty.

Our kits are made right here in Indiana at the KYB manufacturing plant in franklin. S no china crap here. Brand name coilover kits are so high due to the markups. so say it cost eibach roughly around 100.00 to make a full set of springs, give or take. then they sell them to a distributor who will buy in mass quantities, then that company has to make a profit, so then they mark it up some, which is generally 50-75% markup, then by the retailer gets to it they have to make thier percentage so then the price goes up more. thats why we can sell so much cheaper.

And as far as the areodynamics go, in a way yes it does improve it, and have bee proven many times before. think about it. At stock height, you have a ton of air that goes all around, over and under the car, now if you lower the car, where is the air going to go? over the top and sides. Why do you think nascar, F1, D1, and time attack racers do it, same concept.

I will be more then happy to answer any other questions you all might have. so please ask away.

Boosted, can you provide pics of your kit on an altima then? If it was test fitted for 6 months, I am CERTAIN that wont be a problem.

If they are KYB, why isnt that stated in the auction?

Can you provide me with contact information (a name) of someone I can speak with at KYB to back up your story?Care to speak about your feedback?

1. im pissed off i want a full refund i never got my s***,put money back on card

2. took more then 15 days to deliver, did NOT fit my G6, NO COMMUNICATION!!!

3. I purchased them on 3/27 recieved them 4/22.No tracking#, no direct phone number

4. worked well on rear struts but front wernt good also no instructions

5. Scam, coilovers r cheap & do not fit stock shocks, no gaurantee save your money, Will not refund money, theif and a lier. dishonest, no registered return address

6. falsely represented items for sale. had to file a complaint for refund offer

Somehow I think that I wont get a response to these questions guys lol... ALWAYS REMEMBER- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

I emailed him again, he's got three rates of springs going on, a track one a street and track one and a comfort one

here's some info he told me by email:Right now we are offering 2 setups on spring rates. 350f 325r and 500f 475r. the first set is going to work great on and off the track. but the second setup is going to work perfect for the track. Our kits come in progreassive and non, depending again on the customer. We have had a set on out 91 talon awd turbo which we run every weekend either doing time attacks or 1/4 mile and havent had any issues what so ever with them. they have been on there for over a year now. adjusting the hieght takes only a couple minutes per side. you wont need camber plates unless you decide to stay lower then 3"also we do have s set thats is progressive with a 225f 200r (comfort).

lets wait for his response, btw I might test this for carlisle. depends if it can here soon enough.

I got the springs but when I checked the rates, the rear where the same as the 3.5SE only the front where softer but not taller so since my 3.5SE is heavier than a 2.5S it would compress the front springs too much compared to the rear and my car would always be tilled forward + more chances of bottoming out. so I decided to not install them. still got my 3.5SE and 2.5S stock springs in my rooms lol

I could care less about springs at this point..

When is any company going to produce a streetable strut and shock set-up to fit the Eibach kit?

My stock suspension is getting killed and cant keep up to the lowered Eibach's

ok to be very honest with you we try to get our items out as quickly as possible, but we have no control over ups. sadly enough we have to suffer from it. I can glady give you info on ever feedback that you have pointed out here. though it it probably wont matter, but thank you for allowing us to explain whats up. I will answer them in order.

1. guy wanted them rush delivered like over night but didnt want to pay for it. we shipped them out 2 days later. sent tracking number once item was shipped, left the feedback this morning when the coilovers were to be delivered today! he did appoligize for the issue ans said he would remove it. I have emails to prove it. he said and I quote

"Dear boosted_kreationz,

hey i sorry bout that i just got them 2day and there great and will buy a second set from u in the future for my civic

- 203calvin88"so we asked him to remove it and this was his response.

"Dear boosted_kreationz,

i tried to b4 i sent u the message and after i received yours it says when i try 2 that i havent made any transactions if u could fix that i have no problem sending sum very positive feedback

- 203calvin88so I sent him a feedback revision.all I can do is wait.

2. customer called me and had his wife kinda translate to me in english what he was looking for. This was before the sale. Never once emailed me or anything since. Even sent instructions with pics but it wasnt in spanish.

3.we sent out first package within 4 days. customer said he never recieve tracking so we sent new tracking to him several times. still swore ih didnt recieve the item so we sent out another set to him with a new tracking number and even called him to give him bith numbers!

4.LOL this one is very very simple. I called him and after I finally got him to send pics they were on backwards. he put the springs on wrong is all.

5.This one is funny as heck! he called me up and said that he was worried that if he jumped his car that everything would fall back together right. after him telling me this and being in shock that anyone would try to jump an escort, that and him yelling at me for over 20 minutes, I did tell him that we would not refund the money just for the simple fact he was totally misusing the product! call me wrong, but thats not what these coilovers are designed for.

6.This one I cant answer cause it was when the owners wife first started selling things on here. she used to sell baby clothes and such. Then her husband took over the account and that is when we all started offering performance parts.

Here is my .02 ... Everyday people post about no parts being out for our cars, or they wish there was more out, then when companies bring the products out, everyone starts bashing them. The product listed may be crap, or it may be the best product out. If you don't want the product then don't buy it,and don't bash it until you have had the product installed on your car, or you can just wait there will be someone who will buy the product, and I promise they will give you any info you want. If the product end up being great, then buy them, if they are crap then be glad you didn't buy them, its pretty simple. All I can say is that at least they are putting the products out. Just one more option out for people to choose from.

Twizted - that is the beauty of Nico, if we want to bash this guy we can. At the moment i dont think we are bashing him. These springs seems a little to good to be true.

Ill stick with my Eibachs, not sure who or why you are defending this guy/ebay spring seller.
