I wouldn't, I'd buy springs from a reputable manufacturer...

About $800 will get you OME's some gabriel shocks, ubolts and a bush set.
Bank for buck I don't think you will get any better.

Get the OME bush kit or one from Bruce (member on here). Arb can supply the ubolts too. $10 each from memory.

Thats all good til it starts sagging 6 months down the line... Ebay gear can be a bit hit and miss...

i have the same ebay kit on my LJ. The springs are really stiff so you'll have to play around with the spring packs a bit to get a nice ride. It all seemed good quality but i'am yet to test the setup out properly offroad. As ben said they may sag faster then better quality springs like EFS and OME but for my car thats what i want

wow, just read what they have to say about the springs... read the first bit of the red writing on their ebay page:
"In our Suspension Kits you will find we have taken the necessary developments to ensure our Shocks & Struts are matched with the Coil Springs supplied.
