Ebay Struts? Yay or nay?

I found these struts on ebay and the price seems pretty good for all four struts. but are they good struts. and will they work if i was to drop it 2" with coilovers at the same time. im not looking for great performance, just something better than stock. Thanks for your input!

i'm betting these would be worse than stock. if you plan to drop, you should go with illuminas or AGX. anything else will tend to blow out soon after the drop.

Those look kind of suspect, I'd stay away from those. Maybe get Tokicos?

I wouldn't trust then especially if you plan on using coilovers. Do it right the first time and get some quality struts that are adjustable for example koni yellows, tokico illuminas or KYB AGX. Most coilovers are too stiff for cheaper struts (GR2's and HP's).

Those are crap, please don't waste your money. I rode in a car (not a Max) with those on it and it was horrendous. Don't do it. If money is an issue, stick with what you have until you can get something worthwhile.

SpingTech is the american branch of Canuck Motorsports in canada.

They make the CMS maxima spings that many users have. The springs are good quality and offer one of the larger no-adjustable drops (2")

I honestly have heard nothing about the quality of their shocks/struts though
