Possibly not the best quality - but extremely good value at that price

They would do well. especially for that money.
Isn't a fully open to fully closed movement of 2inches a tiny bit short???
Also (you'll have to excuse me as I can't remember what poundage my springs are) but I think 180 is awfully soft??
Maybe someone will correct me, hopefully. Are these going on a CEC Adam?
regards,
Steve

180lb is a little hard for the rear, and a too soft for the front. Fortunately springs aren't too expensive.
You want softer rather than harder. I've seem 275lb for the front and 140lb for the rear for a cec mentioned somewhere.
i could always use them to get it on the road then change the springs later. or if there to short i could find another project to use them for

Spring load depends on where you place the shocks on the wishbones, halfway in = 90lb at the wheel + half travelling distance.
So you can easily make work with whatever setup you decide.

Stick with them to get you on the road.
Springs arnt pricey to change later on.
and when you swap them out, they look great holding candles on the dining table.
