They suck. Just get a real spring/shock combo or coilover.

Hahah! You've gotta be kidding me.

When I bought my integra I knew it had blown shocks but it would buck really bad over bumps/ect, so I finally bought a tokico spring shock combo. When we were intalling them I noticed that 3 out of the 4 springs were actually broken. They were ebay/no name crap, but I couldn't tell how long they were on the car.

I installed them on a friends car with KYB shocks. After about 4 months one of the corners had sunk a little. So we jacked it up to adjust and found the sleve is made out of such cheap AL that it had stretched and split.
