Would these work for a Talon and are they that cheap for a reason? I didn't expect them to be soo cheap but I've always figured you get what you pay for so those might just be poorly made. Anybody ever used those? I'm wondering because I'm thinking about buying a set of OZ Racing Rims from a buddy for $250 with low-pro tires and I would want it lowered if it has low-pro tires so there isnt a huge gap.

You may have had good experiences with clear corners and gauge faces but are you really going to trust it on things that could cause a safety issue on your car? Say an "off brand" coilover/spring like Megan's is made of a weaker alloy metal than what it's supposed to be. You're driving down the road after 10,000 miles of use and you're very happy with them. You see your turn off and decide to take it extra sharp. Halfway through the corner you hear a loud SNAP!!! and then all the sudden the whole car bottoms out on the pavement on one corner and scrapes to a halt. Now your spring just broke and you've just caused yourself more trouble because you went with an Ebay special.

I'm not saying don't buy them or that they are bad products and will break, it's just what could happen when buying stuff like that on Ebay. I wouldn't be afraid to buy things like clear corners and gauge faces on Ebay, but they're not vitally important to my car's safety and running condition.

BTW, aftermarket companies aren't the only ones that this happens to. Ford has a Technical Service Bulletin out for all (certain year) Taurus and Sables because their springs tend to crack and snap in half. What's the TSB for? Putting a girdle on so that when the springs do snap, they don't puncture the tire. How stupid.
