Hello!
Did find this on a site and iam thinking about to buy them.
There is 2 different models and the first one am i having some trouble to
understand what they mean. It says "cut suspension) and does it mean that the seller cut the spring as you want it?

and the other one wich seems to lower 40-45mm

Canuck Motor Sports sells a lowering set all day long, shipped to US for like $220 last time I looked.

Neat find,  it would be cool to try those out.  But as everyone has said,  Canuck's are tried and proven to work well at a better price.  Your call!

Why all 4 those springs you linked the same size? maybee its just the picture? my canuck's bigger in front and about that size as the ones in the picture in rear.

I got my canucks from a junkyard used for $40. Even used they seem great. nothing like stock at all. for the price of canuck's you can not go wrong. imo. and if you go coil over's in future you can sell the canucks no problem. New they only $188? not bad of a price at all. plus 195$ for kyb agx and some 97 mustang rear shocks. seems about that easy to drop your car few inch's.

You might want to check Yahoo Auction Japan for these springs and use a Deputy service to buy the springs on your behalf.  The Canucks springs are quite stiff compared to the Nismo/Eibach/Tokico but they are still available whereas the latter have been discontinued many years ago.  If memory severs me right the Nismo/Tokico springs are rated 175F/175R in lb/in and the Eibach were 175-225 F&R because they were progressive rated like the Canucks springs.  You might want to check with Kings Springs in Australia is they can make a set for you but shipping would be quit expensive.
