Phew.....Thank God. I just checked my springs since I bought them on e-bay, and mine are good. Sometimes I hate ebay for s*** like this that always seems to happen.

Are all other 'characteristics' that Tein has listed on your springs? Like the different yellow colour on the box, the writing that is staight across instead of following the lines of the spring, etc.?

bought mine off ebay for like $150 i think. but mine check out ok. box and springs match (so glad i kept the box for those).

mine has the fake sticker. im pretty sure its fake. i just emailed tein about it and if anyone want to know who the seller is. his ebay ID is atomicstreet F%$ i want my money back...im worry about my springs now

i think everyone should know about these counterfiet TEIN...im just not worried about me but for the other guys rolling on it, not knowing if they are fake or not...im Damn sure mines fake..

 

[DE31]

im sure tein would want you to remove the springs ASAP just in case anything does happen with the counterfeits.
