Does anyone have these springs and if so are they good. I can't tell what brand they are so if anyone knows anything about them let me know. Thanks

Personally, I would stay away from those. A friend of mine had a similar set-up on his Matrix. They rattled and he eventually had two blown shocks/struts. Good, name brand springs are around $140-170. Goldlines, Tanabes, and TEIN, are just a few.
