Yeah don't buy ebay junk, they aren't even for your car anyway.

Wow an 18 dollar spring.....

Are you trying to break your car.

I got 20 bucks that says these springs arent even balanced right.

If it's not even the right spring, i would for sure say no. If it is the right spring, i would still say no. Even the best springs put a lot of extra load on your struts (that they were not designed to take) so a crappy one (especially if it doesn't fit correctly and isn't ballanced right) will be even worse.
