    search around the forum. there's actually one really long thread on them and another dozen that've popped up along the way.

    consensus is that they work, ride decently, and don't lower the car much.

    I tried a little Google search just for the hell of it and didn't really come up with a lot, so that sort of scared me lol

    If you're looking for handling, I highly suggest the Vogtland springs. I love mine with GR2 struts and it seems that it's a top pick for handling and drive ability. Downside is I think it's only rated for 1.7inches of drop or something like that. Eibach can lower the car more. I'm sorry I'm not much help toward your possible eBay purchase, but I'm weary on something cheaply made that'll be a big factor in handling. For the extra $120 or so I highly suggest Vogtland or eibach.

    SSC's are some of the best handling springs with Excel-G struts. If you want to go lower, you definitely need struts specifically designed for a lowering setup rather than stock replacements. Do not cheap out on suspension components.
