Tried those cheap Amazon coil springs on a 2010 Civic

I've always been a brand name guy when it comes to suspension parts. But last month a customer was on a tight budget for his Civic and brought in a set of no-name coil springs he got off Amazon for like $60. I figured they'd sag in a week or ride like crap. Installed them anyway just to get the job done. Drove it around the block after and honestly couldn't tell much difference from the OEM ones I usually put in. He's been back for an oil change three weeks later and said the ride is fine and alignment still holding. Still not totally sold on using them for every car but for a beater that's just gonna get driven to work? Might be worth the savings. Anyone else tried the super cheap suspension parts and been surprised?

Seems like a lot of stuff these days works fine even when it's cheap.

My $20 toaster has outlasted two fancy ones @alice336, totally agree.
