yeah I know that company, they were usualy availible for trucks/pickups offering lowering kits for them...I guess now they are moving to the compact crowd... those struts offer the same damping rate as the KVB's at much less the cost..

Somebody brought springs from them, and when they got them they were Sprint springs.

If you look at the whole link, all the way to the bottom, sprint is one of their products.... so i bet that the e-bay thing is just a distributor of sprint springs, kyb struts, etc.

its called re-badging a product. on the springs maybe but on the struts they are there own. although if I remember they are made from the same company not sure though..

Only thing I hate about E-bay is everyone ass rapes you for Shipping!

We're having this sasme conversation on another forum, so I will just paste my message here:

i was going to get these for my wife's 94 sl1. couple problems at least for me: they don't do will call. So i'd have to pay their shipping charge AND tax. I don't mind paying one or the other, but not both. Second, i hear they're no better than say gabriels.

I emailed the company about their product at one point.. lemme see if I can find the reply...

hello and good morning.

I was hoping I could get some information about the Spring Tech struts. Iâm wondering specifically about the models for Saturn, but I presume theyâd all be the same.
How is the ride compared to OEM? Stiffer front/rear? Softer? Same?
What kind of warranty do the struts carry?
Where are they manufactured and are they just rebadged from someone else?
I see you have a 714 phone number, I live in North Orange County. Is it possible to pick the struts up to avoid shipping fees?
Lastly, do you have a shop for installs or is it just retail only? If you have a shop, what is an estimate for replacing 4 struts on a 94 Saturn SL1?

Thank you for any answers to the above. Many Saturn enthusiasts are interested in your struts and springs, but it seems no one has them on their car yet (at least none that have come forward). We love to see new products for our cars, especially at such a reasonable price. We have 2 Saturns in my family, one in dire need of new struts, and if I like the way they ride, Iâd probably get them (and possibly the 2â springs as well) for the other car.

Thanks again, have a good day.

THESE STRUTS ARE BUILT BY SAME MFG. THAT BUILDS CARERRA SHOCKS. THEY RIDE MORE FIRM THAN O.E COMPARABLE TO KYB.

WE ARE REMOVING THE LIFETIME WARRANTEE AS MOST
ARE BEING SOLD TO PEOPLE LOWERING THEIR CAR. FOR THAT REASON OUR " NEW WARRANTEE " WILL BE ONE YEAR.

WE DO NOT HAVE WILL CALL OR INSTALL ABILITY.

ERIK

on a plus note if you're buying their springs, a couple people have reported receiving boxes that say "sprint" on them. So perhaps they are sprint springs, just not advertised as such?

good luck
