i haven't used them, was going to but ended up going ome 2" in the rear and the old rears up front. ended up with heaps of flex and for less money than that.
you have to do a bit of work to do a ruf or just go ome springs all round. i am very happy with them.

the price seems ok,but going ome doesnt end up alot dearer i dont think??i think ive read somewhere someone saying they are stiff as.and you could play around with lux and commy shocks at supercheap saves a fortune....OME seems to be the pick with alot of people,i agree.U bolts arent needed with the ome

looks like pretty good value, I would say they are king springs, U bolts are a must, the bushes wouldnt be the best but better then nothing
I would ask for the closed and open shock lengths to be sure they arent too short

If they were a name brand I'm sure the advertiser would have mentioned it. I did considered these when I did my suspension, but I chose Old Man Emu over it as it was'nt that big a price differance, and I could specify what spring rate I wanted. I steered away from the ebay kit as it specifies in the ad that it's heavy duty and made for work horses which to me means a very harsh ride and no flex.

I bought a set of these from the same mob 2 years ago for my LWB. They were EFS springs back then and some no name shocks. The combo seemed to be ok.

Thanks for all replies.
From reading this forum and others I feel I will go OME for springs and will have to work out which leaf to remove to soften em up.
Will do some more research on shocks bushes and Ubolts.
Any tips are welcome as to which ones to get and where to get them most welcome.
cheers Matt

Did'nt have to remove any from mine and they are plenty soft. Just ask them for the soft rated springs when you go in.
