Exclamation $50 is a steal for these Lowering Springs ?

Guys, check this out ok.

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...502&perfCode=S

1) TIRE RACK is selling emm so I dont think that they must be some cheap ebay type qaulity Springs ... So dont underestimate em just coz there being offered for $50.

2) The original price was $120 but now has been slashed down to $50 bucks coz of the closeout...

So I was wondering if any of u guys have had them on ur wheels ...
Im dropped on DropZone Springs right now with 2 inches all around... but I dont like the quality of the Drop ZOnes ... SHould I get these or not ? I mean for $50 bucks they dont look bad ... Help me out Guys ... Take care

P.S. I read the Suspension Sticky's and everything ... I cant make up my mind if these would make a good setup with Tokico Blues or not ...

If u surf around tirerack.com u will find out that almost all of the stuff they carry is of high quality... I never saw any cheap brand names there. take a look at their camber kits, shocks and other stuff etc.

Re: $50 is a steal for these Lowering Springs ?

I donno...they don't look like quality springs...kazera website has no info about thier springs or apps. tire rack claims 1.8" drop but that still doesn't say anything about what type of springs they are....progressive/linear or spring rates, ect...

lol ... buddy dont get me wrong ... Im not trying to pick on u or anything but more than half the things u use in daily life are from 3rd world countries. Just coz its from SPAIN or CHINA or what ever doesnt mean it has to be cheap quality. Those guys have the advantage of cheaper labor and raw materials.

Keep in mind that foreign countries that make such products have to pass certain quality standards in order to be sold out by an American Retailer. I mean its not ebay, where u have no quality standards or what so ever. Tirerack is different.

But u had a good point, dont get me wrong.

Hot looks and performance at a great price! Kazera StreetSport Springs are designed and built in Europe for maximum lowering for the street while still maintaining proper load-carry capacity. These value-priced springs are engineered for the vehicle owner who wants to reduce the fender gap as much as possible and maximize the look of an upgraded Tire and Wheel Package.

Re: $50 is a steal for these Lowering Springs ?

dude, you seem to be pretty defensive about these springs and it seems like you have your mind set on them, just get them then. but you always do get what you pay for.
and IMO they do look cheap also, you'd prolly be better off with what you have, then blow 50$ and have the exact same quality of ride

Re: $50 is a steal for these Lowering Springs ?

so if you're concerned about quality, why would you go from "dropzones" to Kazera springs that they seemingly can't even GIVE AWAY. Look around in the f/s section and buy some quality used ones man.. springs never go bad.

Re: $50 is a steal for these Lowering Springs ?

kazera is what wheelsnext gives away if you buy a tire package from them. i bought my springs used off another member for 20 bucks, but they are goldlines they are great.

lol ... guys relax .. i told u all dont get me wrong ... I was justifying what members said about quality and no website info. heheh Well to be honest, I made this thread (as mentioned in the first post) to look for someone who might have had any experience of these springs. So seems like no one has used em...

Let me tell us something interesting. Honda dealers sell their seat covers for our cars at $99.99 ! ... 3 months ago I found them at the same dealership at CLOSEOUT for $29.99 ... and yes its the same 99 bucks quality but close out gave em for $29.99.

Sameway if Tirerack was selling em for $199.99 ... Would most of u still be posting the same things u guys did above? Just curious

Take care guys

hey man just so you know, tire rack must not sell ANY of these because when I was looking to purchase springs 2 years ago, these springs were still listed as "closeout" soooo I really think there's something wrong with them gl though

Truth... you can't make a thread asking for opinions, and than get all defensive.

I have a set of Neuspeed Sports and Race springs. I'll sell either set for $75 Pick up... You live in floida.

I also have a set of Tein SS Coilovers. I'll sell those for pretty cheap since they are pretty beat up. But these were the best ride i have EVER had on my 5 Different Suspension Set-ups.

Arite Arite my bad !!! I guess I sounded too defensive
neway whats the drop rate on those Neuspeeds u selling? I might not buy urs coz im looking for new springs (neuspeed or eibach sportsline) to go with new tokico blues. Wouldnt make sense spending almost 400 bucks on new shocks and getting used springs but thanks for the offer though.

Springs will outlast your great great great great great grandkids... they never die meaning used springs are just as good as new.

Re: $50 is a steal for these Lowering Springs ?

Crap for what. Those are reputable brands. If the guy wants to get some kazeras let him try it out. Everyone on here has given great feedback but at the end of the day the money is coming out of his wallet. I'm rolling on maxspeed lowering springs which I'm sure 99% of the ppl here will say wtf is that. Supposedly they are made by H&R but who knows, I've had no issues with them from the 3 years I've had them on my car. Do some research though and find out if they are progressive springs and how low the drop is. Cheap springs will start to sag as they age so spend the extra cash and go with a brand name. My springs are 1.3" drop with a guaranteed sag to no more than 1.75" for the life of the springs. That was good enough for me but ya do your homework before you buy is my opinion.

Yes I do wonder what you got in there. Can't be illumina, according to Tokico's official website.

http://www.hitachi-hap-la.com/Tokico...s/app/12a.html

No model numbers for 7thgen or 8thgens under the illumina.
