PeterJMC Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks for posting this Jon! This is one reason why I'm so hesitant about buying certain items off eBay. Never would I have thought fake springs would be made... but I guess I was wrong. Buying faux products with unknown origins is a bad idea. One thing you don't want to mess with is your saftey in your car! Imagine you driving down the highway and your new faux springs fail while you are doing 70mph. Buy from authorized dealers guys!
