Default How can I identify TODA Valvesprings

I am sending out money to someone for what his ad says to be:

NEW TODA Valvesprings, and he only wants 210 shipped, how can I be sure they are TODA once I receive them.

I asked for a photo VIA e mail, but teh seller said that they did not have a digi camera.

However, they had NO problems answering all of my questions, which reassured me enough to send the money, however how will I know for sure, once my package arrives???

One thing that sets the Toda springs apart from most aftermarket springs is that the coils are more closely spaced on the bottom, just like the OEM ITR valve springs.

TODA valvesprings are egg shaped and not perfectly round... http://todaracing.com/products....html
