What kind of deal did you get from Ebay Danny?

NgoRX8 03-31-2006 09:27 PM

160 shipped

One of my co-workers just bought an 8. He was looking for a good price on the S-techs. He mentioned to me just today that he found some on Ebay. I paid $168 shipped from prostreetonline.com.

Someone sure did take a lot of time and effort to make these counterfits. Thats really sad, hope nobody here or anywhere else falls victim.

hoosteen 03-31-2006 10:24 PM

tell me about it...

Counterfeiting on Ebay has gotten WAY out of control.

NgoRX8 03-31-2006 11:14 PM

I think ill watch out on ebay now... heh.

FABRO 03-31-2006 11:51 PM

Dang that stinks...

canaryrx8 03-31-2006 11:56 PM

bummer, I'll have to check my boxes tomorrow, hope I got the real thing, if not I'm going to try a different brand anyway or go coil overs or something.

no prob... i ran across it and since i know a lot of ppl here like the S-techs, i had to post it. Even i was considering these springs, but now they feel tainted for some reason. Another reason to go coilover!

Should be ok as long as you watch out for ebay.

Terrance26 04-01-2006 10:49 AM

I just checked I have the real ones, that was close from now on I will be a little more careful when buying stuff on ebay.
