Default Can I trust what is on ebay?

I am looking to get the Tein S-Tech lowering springs. Do you think ebay seller's are selling the real Tein or the fake knock-offs? Anyone have experience with this?

is it that much of a difference. just buy them new.

IMO when it come to things like that it maybe better to get the new. you never know if they were heated or what abuse they have been through.

well what ever your decision good luck & can't wait to see it.

just get it from a power seller and the way you can tell if they are fake, is that the fake ones have a Tein sticker and the real ones are printed Tein.
