Turns out 1.4' front and 1' rear.
Struts and springs looks older than my current setup.

DAMNNNN, please tell me he didn't jerk you with a set of eibach springs on OEM struts for $400 ???? If he did then WOW, thank god I was late to buy these.

Damn, u got hosed. I think it's funny you still put them in though. Take it with a grain of salt I guess right? This is what we get for not seeing exact pics and asking specifics. I would have been in the SAME boat as you if I had gotten them

Well, it was late at night when i installed it.
It was too late for me to put old one back on when i noticed it was OEM.
I can't believe he sold me OEM with eibach springs. Springs were not even right one. sigh...

Yeah he made it seem like they were aftermarket shocks. I would try to ask for some type of refund first. If not try speaking to the mods.

tru350z - what did the struts that you received look like? The OP made it sound like he was selling his Tokico struts in addition to his OEM struts.

If he pulled a switcheroo, that's straight-up fraud and you need to get the mods on your side. But you shouldn't drag his name through the mud before you provide some proof. Did your installer confirm that they were the same OEM components?

Also, suspension will take some time to settle.

I understand sus needs to be settle, but not that much. this is not my first car in mods.

I read, read and read his OP to make sure if he or i didn't make mistake. That's why i started my post saying "Is it just me or everyone...."
Trust me, didn't want to go this route but i had to.....

The struts i received had same OEM sticker and part numbers are 48510-53110, 48520-53030 and two of 48530-53100.

Seemed like everyone wanted to get side shots of his drop but he never posted pictures.

I didn't get the part number of eibach's because i thougt it was 350 springs.

it shouldnt need anytime to "settle" since these are used springs.

PM DaveGS4. If you read the title to his original post, it says "Tokico struts with Pro kit springs AND Oem springs and shocks" or something very similar
