Wow, that would be horrible to find out that you have 'unknown' springs!

im gonna call ebay on monday and see wtf i can do.
I mean springs perform very well. Major improvement in handling after the alignment, no sound, or rattle, Ride is ok for having the car lower 2 inchs in the front. It's just u dont know what will happen if u take corner one day. And the sad thing i have gone all out in countless canyon runs with these springs and they perform well.

But again u never know.
