What The Hell Type of Springs Are These?

I just bought a set of "Eibach Pro-Kit" springs off ebay. When they came, they were blue, not Eibach. Anyone know what type of springs they are, there are no numbers or anything on them.

Well if I find out what they are and there still decent I should be able to get a good deal on them. Or at least try to.

I know its a no-no its just been over two weeks for the guy to ship them out and I'm running out of time for my paypal claim as well.

I would recomend jsut saying they arent what they claimed to be and then just buy the right ones, or suck it up and try them.

and doing ttt so early is jsut going to make sure that some of the senior memebers that could help you dont as its anoying to see the same post with no new information at the top all the time.

if you ttt at LEAST give more info, or pictures or something besides work faster guys...

understandable,
but really just get your money back, or get half of it back and use them... if you know the spring rates of them then you would know how they stack up to others, cause really springs dont really wear out very fast.

or you never know maybe he had them coated a different color?

No they weren't coated. How can I find the spring rates on them? That is basically what I'm trying to find out.

good question, I have no idea, a spring shop (yes they ahve them) should be able to let you know.
They could be custom made springs to the same specs... there is a shop here that does that stuff, but they can take 8 to 10 weeks if they dont have the right stuff in or something.

The only Intrax springs I've seen are purple. Do they come in blue. Also the shmuck swears they only drop 1.4".

The SLP are NOT blue, the SLP ones are charcoal.
