Orange Race Lowering Springs On E-bay

Does any one else have those Orange race lowering springs form e-bay? I have had them on for 3 weeks and they handle great and ride reasonably nice. Any other input, problems or information on these springs?

I think that he meant that in the long run problems will pop up. But I still don't knwo what woudl happen to a spring, except sagging (unlikely) or a crack (less likely).

There are SOME springs that have a tendency to sag over time. Very rare, but it happens. These are the springs that you have, right BlackCat?

I wouldn't say that the CMS springs are orange colored....

The color matches the Vogtlands though.

the ones that say lowering sprins, I was thinking of getting these, but dont know if I trust springs that are $60, but if the ride is good. . . I'll probably go with some Tien-S, but keep up posted on the springs.

if $60 springs ride as good as $300 springs, then why not go with the $60, but they must be that cheap for a reason thought, materials not as good?

And why the hell are coil overs $70!! when I hear people on the forums getting some and they cost near $700 for them. Now the coil over for $70 I dont trust.
