Default Are these springs any good?

I found these on ebay for dirt cheap.
HP Design Lowering Springs
Item Condition: Brand New

Complete Set (2 front and 2 Rear)

The lowering springs are constructed of high quality cold wounded steel material. The high tensile strength and phosphate powder coating delivers outstanding spring rates that are extremely durable and resist premature “sagging”.

Improve handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics.

Carefully matched springs rates provide exceptional handling, response, control and balance.

These springs offer a generous drop to your car while remaining very “streetable” by having enough clearance to avoid bottoming-out; and the lowered center of gravity improves performance and increases stability, as well as enhancing the appearance of the vehicle.

Lowering rate: 1.80" Front & 1.80" Rear

Part # 50-LS60

It's only 60 bucks. If they suck then you only spent that much.

i'd find out the spring rates first. A set of aftermarket lowering springs for only $60 sounds like a counterfeit part, especially from HP. See if you can get the spring rates and we'll compare them to stock/DF210 since they are comparable springs.

and like previously mentioned, it is only 60 bucks you're burning....if they're good, then awesome you got nice drop for 60 bucks...if they suck youre only out 60 bucks.

imho, do it right the 1st time. do your research to determine what best suits you. then save and purchase.
$60 for suspension parts that are very important...i'd prefer to spend a bit more than that on new parts for such a valuable factor in my car's suspension.
