Default Goten Springs from Wheels Next "Yay or Nay"??

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about these practicaly free springs you get with a rim and tire package from Wheels Next . They say free but you have to pay 50 bucks shipping and handling. They dont have any available for the XB now because it is to new but when the time comes in June i was just wandering if i should take a chance on them or not? The sales rep said they are lowering springs retailing at around $250 so they cant be bad can they? Let me hear your input on this so i dont make a $50 mistake. Also let me know if Wheels Next is a good place to deal with thanks...

Well i asked if i could get them in a 2 inch lower and the sales rep said yes so thats what i am looking at. This isnt for racing or anything just the lowered look to help out the wheels.

Well look at it this way. I can get Tenzo R springs for around $50. Would I ever personally drive on a Tenzo spring yes. Would I rather drive on a Eibach or TRD absolutely. Those springs may retail for $240 but who actually pays retail I mean come on. Perfect example is any audio equiptment. If you pay more then 40 - 50% off retail you got ripped. Oh and the free springs are on regular priced wheels as well. To be honest I can get you a set of Eibach's and a set of 17's for the same price as they are doing there rim and spring set up, same would go for any other sizes as well.

Check out Wheelplanet.com that's where I go through.
