They will, I crossed checked the part number with the one on Tein'd site. They will even fit on your stock shocks, but if your shocks are blown make sure to change them.

what do you mean load down? if you talking about lowering your car then skunk2 will lower your car the lowest out of all the springs.

its your own opinion that matters. its your car not ours. i love my skunk2's they have a more stiff ride but feel like stock over bumps. i cant say too much about tiens because ive never owned a set of them. but i hear theyre pretty good and feel like a stock suspension. if you want the lowest ride out of a spring id say go with skunk2, if you want more of a stock feel id go with tiens.

well here is the company I bought from off ebay and they are 100% authentic. Here is the link so you can buy directly from them. They shipped really fast and were a great seller to work with. I can not really tell if they ones you found are authentic based on the pics, but, I guarantee you the ones on the link I am giving you are authentic.

PS. I tried to contact the same company you found springs from online and they refused to send me pics of the bar codes on the box...meaning....they are probably counterfeit.

Hey Afesposi, did you need to get a camber kit or anything else when you lowered yours?
