yup... i saw some pretty convincing knockoffs on ebay. they even have a locking perch just like the GC's. on the GC's, you should see eibach lettering and numbering on the spring, though it rubs off over time somtimes. new GC's have the up/down direction engraved on the adjusting collar.

try comparing them to http://www.ground-control.com

you can also try giving 'em a call and ask how to tell them apart from knockoffs

ground controls should have the name on the part where you adjust the height along with arrows saying up/down....and it should say eibach on the spring....i've had those on my car for over 3 years and the name hasn't came off yet, so i'm sure if they are real then they would have the name still printed on it....
