they emailed me again here's what they said:

And just for the giggles of it, we never once said that we installed coilovers on that car nor did we say anything about our stuff being on it. the pics was picked due to it being lowered. that is all. it was not spamming or anything. but it has been removed. and I read your thread and was not impressed. but non the less the car was picked cause it looked nice nothing more nothing less! you have a wonderful day.

I agree yes his car does look nice, but the fact of the matter is people on ebay would believe that was the car they did install them on, so what do you know irish the people have voted and they like your car.

Eibachs/illuminas FTW. I am doing nearly 100 miles a day (7 days a week) of driving on them now and I'm still happy with them.

The SFCs do help though.
