but it says their the "ultimate in street performance" LOL

if it sounds too good to be true, it is

[silver03p5]

lol its made of chrome silicone

[Protoss]

look at their rating... i mean it sounds too good, but you'd think that if they were fake they would have a lower feed back. 99.3% across over 2200 people. so like 15 people we not happy in 2200,

[silver03p5]

i cant find anything on the internet about chrome silicate...but i cant see it being as strong as the eibachs or sprints, and i bet some of those feedbacks are just as a result of ppl using them for show or something, not performance

[JProtege]

well what i've done is i emailed a bunch of ppl who bought the springs asking about what they think of the product. we'll see what they reply in the next couple of days.

what u really have to ask yourself is, do u want to trust ur safety to a HIGH TENSION SPRING made from soft metals, even tho it is an alloy...or do you want to spend a little bit more, and get high quality springs

if it was a high tension metal it wouldn't be soft. what makes a metal "hard" or "soft" is it's tensial capibilities and the internal stress incorperated in the alloy.

but yeah JP see what you get in e-mail. my bet is against them, but hey i could be wrong. keep us posted on what kinda feed back you get.

u know what i mean protoss...its something that supposed to make your car stiffer...and its made of soft metals...not a good combo

ok so i've got two back so far . . .

i just installed the springs a few days ago. for $75.00 springs, i was really impressed at the ride quality. i installed the springs on a 92' 240sx. they lowered the car slightly more in the front than in the back, but its not un-bearable..
i have a 91 sentra se-r with kyb agx's and a set of suspension techniques 1.7 drop and it is more bouncy than the aerospeed 2" drop, with stock struts i just installed on my 240..
the 240 is my daily driver, but also looks much better than my sentra, so i was shooting more toward looks than performance. i am satisfied with the looks and performance of these springs..

i got one other reply but all he said was that the springs were sent out quickly. I've replied to him asking if he'd installed them yet and if he likes them.

[silver03p5]

see, those guys replied about the looks, and that they are bouncy...if u want them for performance, id go with something better

[Protoss]

yeah bouncy bad. run away ricer parts!!

[JProtege]

lol. we'll see what the others reply

[JProtege]

> No I haven't installed them yet and don't plan to until a next next weekend (hopefully). But I am also upgrading my struts to KYB-GR2's at the same time I'm going to swap out the springs. I don't think the stock struts can handle the drop.
