I have had their springs on my car since around Feb i think. Ive been happy with them although I cant compare them to other brands because Ive never had them before now. Sorry. I do know its rougher than before but then again my struts were soooo gone and I had it all done at the same time so it was a drastic difference for the better. I went with KYB gr2 and the canuck springs. I believe the ebay user was something like springman--- Anyway, having no previous experience Im actually very happy with them. I can email pics if youd like.

I bought them also and used them with KYB GR-2, no problem what so ever, nice 2 inches drop, gotta be careful on the bumps and potholes though.
I think they are the same that makes the Sprint springs for our car. Hell I think those springs are the same ones as the sprint, but in a different color and name.

ya, as far as i know theyre the same as sprint springs, which i have. its roughly a 1.75 in drop, and a somewhat noticably firmer ride. it can be a little too stiff of a ride over some bumps, but overall its fairly comfortable. the handling is greatly improved as well. i also have them paired up with kyb gr2 struts, and have had them for a good 25k miles, and the ride quality has stayed the same.

Forgot to mention, on most of the speed bumps, I gotta go slowly because I scrape the catalytic converter almost everytime.
