I don't know about those. They are probably those Tein knock offs and since the lawsuits they prolly just removed the fake Tein logo. I would be suspicious of those.
Not a name brand, I suggest you move on.
Save up $100 and wait for someone to sell some used ones on any of the xB forums.
i say save a lil and get some used on the forums i'll keep an eye out for some for ya
thanks guys. that is what i thought but i didn't know if anybody has bought them. i thought they were crap but just wanted to make sure.
Go with the Tanabe DF210 springs.... You can get them for like $150
has anybody bought these? are they any good? i'm just tight on money and want to lower my car like asap. lol or should i just wait and get something else? thanks

No go on those, I believe they are the Tein knock-offs and any set of springs that only cost $25 I'd stay away from. This is your suspension your talking about and you don't want to ride on something half-ass or you could screw up alot of things. I have a set of the real deal Tein S techs I was holdin' for Badger126, but he hasn't contacted me back in awhile so if you want them let me know. I can send you pictures of them if you would like.
Whatever you decide to go with, just remember that you will probably need an alignment that will cost about $70 as well.
The best low-priced springs for the first-gen are the Megan Racing springs. They're usually like $95 and look great. I've heard Tenzo Rs were good springs, too.
I bought DF210s, but if I hadn't the Megans would have been on my car.
yeah man save your money.
the last thing you want to deal with is crappy parts.
it would be one thing if it was an mp3 player or something but this is a vital suspention component your dealing with.
play it safe and do it right with quality parts, you will be glad you did.

^ I concur. Cheap springs mean terrible spring rates, which lead to blown shocks and an uncomfortable, bouncy ride. And then there's the possibility of weak metal from improper winding.
yep........... just bad possibillities all the way around.
I bought the Tenzo springs off ebay, bought American so I thought. They said a 2" drop in the rear and 1.7 in the front. I installed the rears and took it off the jacks. wholly crap! it dropped more like 3+ inches it was way too low. I e-mailed these people and they basically said too bad. There is not a mark on the springs and I never installed the fronts but the greedy mofo said no refund! It's like dude, wtf, thats way more than 2 inches. it didnt rub but still too low for me.
With that said, I reinstalled the rears and I went to autozone and bought these spring expander and compressor thingys basically a couple metal hangers and a couple of bolts they compress (or expand) a coil on the spring. I had to buy longer bolts but the worked great. My XB sits level now no more stinkbug look. Its great and only cost 15 bucks.
Anyone want to buy some lowering springs? TENZOS like new in the box
rip did u take any pics of your b with the tenzos on
