Default warning! coilovers on eBay? sounds fishy and dangerous..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33582

i sure hope these are safe... seeinghow ground controls can
fall off, im thinking that if u go too low it'll just fall out..
theres a CLEAR reason why NO company drops more than 2.25"
if u're on springs.. my guess is, if u run stock shocks and u wanna slam it 3"..
u're just asking for a deathwish if u run no name 70 dollar coilovers..

i just hope people are aware that the spring CAN fall out of on the freeway
and then u'll wipe out..

PLEASE comment(anybody and everybody)

I just put these springs on my Xb about 1 week ago. I have since logged about 1200 miles on them. There is nothing wrong with them. The ride is alittle bouncy with them at the lowest setting, but the way I have them setup it's perfect for me. I needed a way to adjust the back springs when I put the family in the Xb without the car looking like a droopy a$$ 4Runner . The springs are working out for me pefectly, and for under $100 shipped. I'll be the last person to complain. The install waas a snap, took me about 45 minutes front and back. If I had to do it all over again, I would . I'll be glad to answer anyones questions. Let em rip.

I'll take some this weekend when I lower the front and rear alittle more. It's a simple install but, you are going to need a couple of big washers for the rear perches. The washers they sent are not big enough to bolt the perches to the rear of the car. Getting pictures of the fronts are going to be alittle harderbut, I'll try to see what I can do .
