Yeah, where's the link to the auction. Or the seller's name so we can look it up. Did the auction say Dropzone "style" anywhere, even once?

I know ebay is selling fake Tien springs, they showed real next to fake.
The real springs were painted Tien on them while the fake had a sticker on them.
Now im not saying yours are fake but you have to careful what you buy.
I got this infor from Super street mag.

Welcome to HCF!!!You need to watch yourself with ebay. There are people out there who will sell you oem shocks and call them Tein. If the price looks to good to be true...It probably isn't. Try and find a reputable seller and ask them questions before you buy.

Well, not to knock Dropzone, but their kits are normally on the cheap end. They work though, so it doesn't much matter. That sucks that he didn't send you the pictured items. I hate that. Well, good luck on the install!

i mailed another buyer of the same kit and he got the same thing. We were told basically the same thing, some kits are different depending on the car and rub/noise factor. I still feel robbed, should have DZ on them. Thanks for the welcome R35P3KT. I will have the pics in my ALBUM folder, project on hold for a few days.
