tokico shocks/struts with sprint lowering springs combo on ebay, worth looking into?

first off, thanks for looking. I'm interested in getting performance/lowering springs along with shocks and struts for my 90 firebird with a V6, and i ran into this combo on ebay. It includes tokico struts/shocks along with sprint springs for 360 bucks, and I was wondering what your guys's opinions were. another thing to mention is that they have springs for V6 cars....

so...
what do you guys think about this combo? has anyone had any experience with sprint springs? most importantly, do you think its worth the money?
thanks again guys.

oh, and here's a link to the ad on ebay

I dunno how good sprint springs are but looks like it may be a good deal. Tokicos i heard good things about them specially on imports. I just hate buying things on ebay.

I paid 395.00 shipping included 1 1/2 ago, they were retailing for around 450.00 or more, so they really worked with me on the price.

With that said, I really like the ride and handling, A little harsher than stock (expected) but the handling response was much improved. It lower it about a inch, back is perfect, but I would have like another inch lower in the front to get the perfect front to back rake.

You cant go wrong, I think a match set of springs and struts is the way to go that a great price, but expect the springs color to be black.
