good thread, I'm in the market for springs/struts as well. I also saw the springs/shocks on e-bay and I guess we both want to hear from people who actually bought these off ebay.

IMO, cheap does not always mean worse or bad. For instance, take clear corners for Maximas. Some big aftermarket "pro" shops advertised here on the org and elsewhere charged around $40 for DC clears at one time. I bought DC clears on e-bay for $15 and they are completely marvelous - I mean they don't leak, perfect fit, perfect look, and perfect delivery.

Well i guess they just came out with these not too long ago so too many people (including me) are too scared to try a new product with out here others opinion.

i guess i will have to just step up and try them
they do come with a lifetime warrenty so you cant go wrong with that i guess

I saw a pic of a Maxima on Dropzones, the front was high and the rear was low.

i posted a thread like this a while back and got no response from ne one, samre for spring tech struts. i got a good deal on some agx struts so i just gave up on researching. i assume these struts should be perfect as stock replacement but im not too sure about performance upgrade

Tokico Blues also have a lifetime warranty, and they are known to blow with aftermarket springs. You usually get what you pay for. As long as you don't mind paying the labor (over $150) to have them removed and installed everytime they blow, and the downtime when you have to send in your shocks to have them replaced under warranty.
