Hey at least she tried. If you don't like them, you change it and deal with the ass chewing and/or guilt trip you will receive for being an ingrate.


Poor girlfriend.

its all good, its not like you lost money or anything, I would just craiglist them and then get something else you like, put those on and tell her you used hers... prob solved.

moral of the story

lying = saves your ass (unless you are a bad liar)

BTW.. thats an awsome gf for trying, she got it for the right car

its really lovely what your girl did! you should appreciate it!

put them on, try them, make a review! Perhaps they arent so bad! Even its bad you can tell her that this springs must have production failure and you want other springs.

Make sure you thank her, then just show her what you were looking at getting. Let her know that what she got was super cool, but this is more the look your going for. Next time give her details on what your looking at.

ya thats really sweet she tried.. u can put those on, make her happy and then upgrade later on... or if u dont want to put them on at all then jus suck it up and tell her that they will damage ur car in the long run if u dont put on somethin 'brand name'...

If these are just a band aid until you get a reall suspension, then use them as such. Quit your bitchin. Why are you going to have your girlfriend buy you a car part that you know is going to get tossed? How do you thing she is going to feel when she finds out you through out her gift to you?

Dude, you have an awesome girlfriend. At least she tried, and not only did she try to get something you like, she tried to get you something for your car. My ex used to complain about how rough the ride was (750lb/1000lb) in my car or say that spending my money on car stuff was a waste.

Kicker is, she's a car girl!

Ive heard those springs really arent that bad. Especally if they're just a bandaid until later on.

Id say you've got a pretty good girlfriend.
