I was browsing e-bay and came across these.

Has anyone fitted, or heard of them?  Are they worth the money?

I also came across the following,

Anyone fitted them?  I was looking at balance motorsport website and the shocks were a lot more expensive than these, makes me wonder if they are genuine?

Providing you were not speeding and the speed bumps  exeed the specification laid down you will have a very good case against your local authority to compensate you. There was a case local to me were the bumps were too high resulting in a large number of motorists damaging there cars, they all successfully recieved compensation for the resulting damage and the local authority had to reduce the size of the speed bumps .

Either the bump is too high as said, or the car is riding too low due to load or ware, or the driver is braking over the bump and the front of the car dips with the suspension loaded.

Seen plenty of police omegas bouncing over speed bumps on the telly with no grounding problem.

I have 5 speed bumps on the way to work, and never a problem.

The springs at the rear of the picture dont look like omega springs,more like vectra,as i recall from lowering my vec,when cutting two coils off.
