yea man i got taht far, but if you check it out on ebay , the pictures are at an angle where you cant tell which one it is.......

This would be a very good idea to post on other forums..

That's most likely a counterfeit. Thinner letters with darker color(although the flash sort of hinders that intentionally) and the price.. He also has like 30+ sets for sale although he lists "limited quantity"

 

Here is a good link for some replica crap

Ebay is a scammer paradise. Just stop using Ebay.

 

thanks for this thread.. i almost bought a set from ebay...

 

Need to bump this up. This still running around. My wife though she was getting me a set of S Techs for my b-day but I just saw this and I went out side to check. Sure enough she got me a set of this. the springs are on the car already. so far nothing wrong though. She only paid $80 for them I think so not to worry about the money loss. Going to find a new replacement for this I guess.

 

I wouldn't take chances -

from a materials science point of view, all materials that are subjected to loading and unloading will eventually fail.

 

oh I'm going to take them off as soon as I get new springs.

 

the fakes look pretty good. but they cant seem to copy them exactly. which is good. they would fool me, but i would never buy anything like that off eBay.
