Gen6 Authentic Tein Online Dealer?

I am ready to buy some Tein Solara springs but I read a lot about fake Teins on ebay and online and now i'm scared to buy off ebay. Is it safe to buy em off specific ebay sellers and other websites? I don't want to get stuck with knockoff teins. Where is a safe place to buy at a good price?

I did see that seller on ebay and he claims them to be authentic. Although nearly every ebay seller says they are genuine Tein springs. I guess I want to know from those that have bought them, which seller you bought it from and were they authentic Tein springs when you got them?

This info here is what made me nervous...

Haha, ok, well i havent posted anything up yet because i got a full time job. But basically...

used for, id say not even 2 oil changes. Probably 6 thousand miles. Still is great shape, did NOT do any aggressive driving on them because of my set up, i would rub, so the springs arent in bad condition at all. i just got coils, and thats the only reason as to why i took the springs off.

they are the teins for solara, so its a 2" drop, and im looking for 90 bucks.

I am willing to talk prices though, just PM me or something.

Nots: i have a 08 se i4.
