Trust these ebay obx springs?

this guy is selling these obx coilovers for 75 bucks
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33582
he says he bought them for his bmx e6, but the box also list 95 -99 maxima on it, however when i looked up the part # for the e6 it was hk016 and the maximas were hk032. So im guessing he is wrong in saying that they will fit maxima?

Better off throwing out your springs and riding the bumpstops... You might actually have a better ride than OBX coilovers...

They are marked for a BMW E36 with a sticker but on the side of the box it also lists, 200 SX Sentra, A3 VOX Wagen, 98-00 Honda Accord, and 95-99 Maxima.
with multi applications like this for just one set of springs, you can only imagine the problems that you would get

Don't do it. The box says e36 becasue that is what they are for, the other cars listed on the side of the box aren't there because they are multi application springs. They are there because OBX is a bunch of cheap a$$es and decided on generic box would be cheaper and they could just mark what car they are for by placing a small circular sticker next to the car name. The sleeve most likely won't fix on a maxima strut plus I don't think those are the correct spring rates.

Exactly, they guy listing the auction might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but as stated above, the box is generic, and the company just marks off the correct application on the box, for the spring thats inside, it saves them from having to print many diff. boxes, and so forth. makes sense right, now that, that makes sense, it only makes sense that the box has bmw marked off and not the others, so you would want to "assume" that these might not fit your application in one way or the other.
