How on earth could we possibly tell from that?

Sometimes the only way to tell is to put the spring to the test...

This is why you buy from a Liscenced retailer or someone with great feedback. these new No name companies offering these amazing deals have something up there sleeve most of the time.

Well I'm trying to see what kind of packaging they(buddy club) use. I don't want to open it if there is a chance I might be able to send them back.
So if anyone has bought buddy club valve springs before, did they come in a box or like this in a bag?

Package looks exactly like the Rocket Motorsports springs I have yet to install. I bought Gen 2 from Kteller... send an email to him to see if he can identify.

I emailed a couple of people regarding this. If they are rocket valve springs then I'm gonna have a talk with the vendor that sold me these about some money back.

Just an FYI.. I have gotten 4 different brands of v springs in those yeallow bags. i also have gotten 5 different sets of cams.. all in yellow bags.
You cant tell anything about them beacuse they come in yellow bags.. If you do your just plain stupid!!!!!
We pacgage aerospace pars in guess what YELLOW BAGS!!!!

And if you did get RM valvesprings instead of buddy club you should ba happy..

hello, yes ill help you a bit with the orginal question.

A.The springs you got are Buddy Club's springs. You can tell based on two things.
1. Address shipped from is buddy clubs address on box
2. Call Buddy Club USA http://www.buddyclub.us and ask george or anyone there. they use springs sealed in Yellow Bags.

B. Omnipower used to use springs also sealed in yellow bags, untill they recently came back instock and our new shipment all have them sealed in two (8&8) clear bags.

C. Rocket motorsports also has had springs sealed in yellow bags also, based on our stock from RM. Now with our new stocking shipment, you ll see RM has switched to one single clear bag, with their sticker on the bag and specs on the actual bag.

ill post you some pictures, but you cant base an item on the bagging. Most of these springs are all made to spec by per say company but made over sea's, in which "JDM Yellow" must be ever so popular they even use yellow bags!


also: I cant comfirm, but believe blox,skunk2,ugr also have used the simialr type of 6-8 mill thick yellow bag.

same bag as blox. yellow is probably just the cheapest roll of industrial sealing plastic.
