Cool very inexpensive...

I don't know anything about them, but it sure does seem like they are very inexpensive! My Gold-Line leveling springs were much higher priced than those. Maybe you get what you pay for?

$40 spring and $45 shipping?

'known good' springs are only $200... I don't think I'd risk anything cheaper...

The $100 you save you'll probably make up for in installation, look, and piece of mind knowing they'll actually hold up.

I wouldn't buy the $40 ones.

Read what the negative comments were on. One was a hood. Don't compare that with springs. Read through his feedbacks on springs and go from there. These could be just reboxed "other" brands.... I purchased a 4/6 truck drop kit from Doetsch once (great shocks). The spindles and springs were Belltech and the flip kit was DJM. Both great companies, just reboxed and at a lower price.

The shocks were Doetschs Nitro drop shocks of course.

a friend of ours bought these for his cobalt and it barely lowered the Cobalt. These coils are NO GOOD. This is from personal experience!

Note the shipping costs. He's getting more profit by marking up his shipping. Unless they're really heavy, it shouldn't cost much more than $15 or so to UPS those.
