its an ebay brand. just remember you get what you pay for. look around, the sponsors or other members have some great prices on new and used suspension. its worth it to pay the extra hundred bucks for something you'll be much happier with.

Thankfully, no. I wouldn't buy ebay brand springs.
With ebay products you never know what you will get. It's possible that someone could buy ebay springs (or any funny brand of anything) and have them last 15 years, but someone else could buy the same exact product of the same brand by the same company, and could fail you in 2 days. Many of these products are made in mass quantities using cheap material. Problem is that there are many more bad batches made and barely (if any) testing is done. Try to claim a waranty (if any is even offered) and they either send you another product just for it to break again, or will try to blame YOU for the damage.
There are certain things you could cheap out on, but others, just aren't worth your life. It's unfortunate that we are in a world driven by money. Cheap/low prices are HARD or almost impossible to resist. In spanish we use a term "Lo barato te sale caro" which means " The cheap stuff ends up being expensive"
Would you risk buying ebay brand brakes because you saved $4? Those $4 you just saved can end up costing you thousands due to an accident or injury. Even your life. I have finally realized that price shouldn't make my decisions always.
Man.. This is the first time I've sat here for hours (over 8 hours!) on honda-tech actually posting useful information rather than creating useless posts. Reason I have a 97% is because of stupid/useless posts I have made before. I think it's goodnight for me now. NIGHT ALL!
