Eibach springs most definately are NOT cut standard springs.

Motobuild R8 springs however are cut standard springs.

MB have a somewhat chequered history with uprated parts, for instance you can buy the MB uprated T16 mls headgasket for about ?50, or you could go and buy exactly the same gasket from xpart under part number LVB101000 for about ?32, the reason is that they are exactly the same gasket, MB ones even come in the original MGR packaging, so you end up paying a ?18 excess for the privilege of buying from MB.

There is good stuff on the website which is worth buying, but there is other things which aren't so good.
