They look like King Springs which is a cheapish brand we get over here. The ae92 springs a reasonably good but the ae101 versions are rubbish, much too soft. They could be a different brand though, it's pretty hard to tell.

appearances can be deceptive. i've never seen nor heard of them, and i wouldn't put them on my car.

What car are they for? My ae101 TRD springs (thats real TRD from japan) had 1 less coil on the fronts, which is a general indication of quality. Though again there can be alot of factors.

Put them in and try 'em out.

I put on cheap 50 bux tommomsport coil springs on my 240sx and to tell the truth they worked great, almost like the teins I switched afterwards, but the most major problem with them is that they started to sag after a few months of use. So they could be pretty good... for the first few months.

I still have my original springs and I dont them. If you can use them; you can have them really cheap.
