good to know...

I thought those ebay sellers could always copy/paste spring spec from TEIN to "fake" spec...

HOpefully no one is counterfeiting RS*R springs...

I'm glad companies are finally cracking down on some of that fake crap on ebay. I wish nissan would crack down on some of the "NISMO" branded garbage on there...

Yea, but the NISMO ones don't look like the real ones. I'm talking about the way NISMO is presented. Alot of them have something over it, like a little flag.

That would be funny if the replica was built BETTER than the original.

"Replica has STIFFER springs rates, and LOWER drop.."

Bahah..j/k.

at least it isn't like a fake bride or something.


That would be funny if the replica was built BETTER than the original.

even if its stiffer and lower...I know you know it doesn't mean it's "better."
