Default Some help please with Eibach Springs

I just broughts some eibach springs from a guy who use to have a is350. He never installed them. I just wanna make sure i brought the right springs or he brought the right springs.

The two long springs says 8287.002
and the two short springs for the rear says 8288.001

however the boxes says TRD PTR07-53080 which i googled and it says fsports is sedan lower springs

Can someone verify that i brought the correct springs? I checked eibach website already and really dont have a clue.

Sounds like he put those springs in the F sport package box which is totally unrelated to the eibachs. In simpler words, that's not the original box.

The part number is only gonna be under Toyota/Lexus or TRD not Eibach.
The number for Eibach IS 8287 though.
And since it is under the name of the F sport package, Eibach does not sell it.
If they're blue they are the correct springs.

No. With proper part numbering, if it's a different part, it better have a different part number. The front springs are different than the rear springs.

He probably had Eibach's before, then switched to F-Sports, and threw out the box the Eibach's came in, so he had the F-Sport box to ship it in...should be fine.
