looks real to me. $64 shipped for just the front seems reasonable.

He either wants to sell them separate or only has the fronts.

Well the fronts is naturally higher than the rears anyways.

I have springs that lower the front 1.8" and the rears 1.2", and yet the fronts is still higher than the rears.

Perhaps if you install these only on the fronts, it'll balance out the height evenly.

Somebody was selling something like 20+ sets of L-tuned, front springs only, about a month ago on Ebay. I think this seller may have bought them and is trying to sell them as single sets. It reminds me of when there were only rear wheels available for the 18" L-tuned (Salinas) wheels. Perhaps the factory accidentally made too many front sets? Not sure, but I think this guy will have a hard time selling the front sets only, but will probably sell a few sets to buyers who don't read the auction carefully.

Somehow L-tuned and their resellers have only front springs left... no more rear springs ... that's why these are selling so cheap
