Default highperformanceoutlet.com springs fake?

Not sure where this post should go but I noticed this place has some s-techs for sale for $199 which seemed good enough to jump on. The one thing to me that was suspect was the fact that its from an ebay user. http://www.highperformanceoutlet.com...he-6554/Detail

I can't seem to find much information about this place or any user's experience. In researching I came across this link that shows the counterfeit springs =\ .

Any ideas or recommendations?

never mind found a post that pretty much answers it. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...erfeit+springs

They could be legit, but im not going to risk it. This pretty much negates the legitimacy.

Recently, We have confirmed that some of the eBay stores are guilty of selling COUNTERFEIT TEIN S.TECH springs.
To assure authenticity of any TEIN product, PLEASE make your purchases only through a TEIN Authorized Dealer. To locate a TEIN Authorized Dealer near you, please click here.
TEIN would like to inform you of the differences between the COUNTERFEIT TEIN S.TECH springs and the Authentic S.TECH.
Difficult-to-tell counterfeit S.tech springs are being heavily marketed.
Such replicas may be of bad quality and extremely dangerous
• NO precise lowering spec.
• Unknown quality, which may lead to sagging, rust, cracking and noise issues
• Unknown Engineering Data
• Extremely dangerous and can lead to suspension failure

No he is legit. I bought my springs from that place on ebay and so did passnu2 (i believe that's his username)

If you searched the Tein S tech post w/ the owners checking in you'll see that a few more have also purchased them from him as well.
