yea sorry boss... Looks like that's what you got.

Put them back up for sale and get a set of rsr's if you want drop. If you want performance i'd get s.techs. Or you could just leave yours on is your camber as bad as that pic?

They go real quick...

What I meant was does your camber in the rear wheels look like the one in the pic. aka are your wheels on a fubar angle?

and the stechs don't really drop much they just provide a very stiff spring rate. If I'm not mistaken they have the highest spring rates on the market. not coilover status but good enough to bang through some corners

robb: I'm a bit worried about these springs. The guy you bought them from seems a bit shady and they weren't even HIS springs, he'd bought them from someone else.

Since they're powder coated, there is no real way of knowing WHAT he sold you.
My advice; sell them and cut your losses.

I have them to... they drop but I wouldn't call it aggressive.

Aggressive would be dozers drop...
