Hey hotbox, don't those have issues with staying in when lifted, etc... Not trying to diss the product, just putting out the things I recall...

I don't want to rain on anyones parade but when someone describes the product as: THIS KIT IS LIGHT-WEIGHTED STRONG STEEL
and, THE KIT IS COATED WITH TITANIUM COLOR. I might second guess the item.

What is light weighted strong steel and what is titanium color coating?
I would not waste my money. Buy some real springs from a reputable company. Your life could depend on it.

I agree with Huskernow, you can get a good set of springs for about 50-60 more. You'll only get 2" of drop, but it will be a reliable drop. The rest of the drop you're gaining starts getting into the problem zone and IMO, is only needed when I'm sitting next to some other lowered Scions. Since I drive it more than I do that, my preference is to have it ride well and do it reliably, rather than try to make it look a little better at the expense of handling and performance. I guess it depends on your motivation and comfort level...

eh i'm not too worried bout safety i mean if anything could go worng they'd be sued for life. i'm fine with mine look for the black and red ones a lil higher quality maybe. but yeah watch out for broken english. if thats there fixin a prob would be harder to do versus a guy who has proper english. and about the ride i'm used to ____ty riding cars my previous cars have almost all been slammed. some with cut springs lol ghetto but it gets the look lol. i'm a cheap broke guy i do what i gotta do.

I'm glad you decided not to buy this.
I had similar coilover off ebay, for my last car, Celica. Worst ride ever. It looks dope, but it's just bad bad ride .... Just invest a little more for a known brand springs.
