|Says Germany only, but "will post to Europe" - most confusing.

I think they're OK - just not sure on the compressed part of the coils. You don't get compressed sections with eibach springs. But for £50 B-I-N it might be worth a shot?

the springs have compressed parts because they are progressive springs.

Good buy, postage should be around £10, I've had a few bits from Germany for the car and bike from ebay without any issues.

Postage from Germany is not only cheaper but it's better than the UK. I used to buy stuff several times a week from Germany without problem, it's only when Parcel Farce get hold of it the problems start.
