I would not know but would say that the quality of the spring that you are going to get is not going to be that great. The spring may or may not support the weight of the car.

why waste your time to risk crapping up your dampers with sh!tty springs in the first place. you're just gonna waste time and money. just get some good ones that ppl have had success with and you won't have to even worry about it. this is not a honda, which is why you don't read about ppl on here just trimming their current springs for a drop.

because a company like tein has spent money on research to develop a product that make the handeling of the car better. as where a company like the 30 dollar spring took a tein spring and copied it such as shape thickness lenth, but ho knows what the spring rate of those are so yes you do get what you pay for, so make you decision carefully
