Looking for some springs and came across this on Ebay.

It sounds to good so I am assuming it is unless someone tells me
otherwise. Has anyone bought these? Are you happy with them?

Skunk2 is a reputable manufacturer, but $100 for 5 dissimilar springs doesn't do it for me.
make sure you get a matching set. <grin>
you need to find out how much the springs will lower your vehicle (1.5" is claimed), and, if that's acceptable, you'll need to prepare yourself for the labor of changing out the spring on each corner. and then prepare yourself for buying replacement struts in about 2 years. (the 1.5" lowered vehicle will force the struts to operate somewhat outside their normal life range.) or you could consider a coil-over setup right now and not have to re-visit the struts in about 2 years. the coil-over setups will generally give more drop.
