Anyone actually buy stuff from eBay? I bought Tein spring and it turned out to be counterfeits.

Import Tuner Rule 1: You get what u paid for
Import Tuner Rule 2: Don't forget rule 1
Import Tuner Rule 3: Never buy "JDM" performance parts from ebay

People do buy from ebay. But you really do get what you pay for. Dont cheap out on something on your car that allows it to run and not kill you if it breaks down. Suspension for instance. Get the parts at what its worth from a reputable dealer. Suspension is pretty important, you dont wanna have you springs snap and you go crashing just to save a couple hundred.

Feedback is a pretty good indicator. I never buy from anyone with less than 98% feedback. I have made many, many purchases on ebay and have never had a problem except for getting a fake TRD badge a year or so ago. Oh well, it was cheap anyway. Lesson learned.
