I guess they might be referred to as "Green Springs". :lol Guaranteed none would be available for our cars. Looks like their target market would be to new oem types.

I would say you are right, the aftermarket to follow several years later.

There are a heck of a lot of far less expensive and more productive ways to improve fuel economy than cutting a few pounds off each spring.

The return on these for an increase that's too small to even reliably measure would be likely be decades.

Unless you just want to give away a lot of green to be greener. :D

No way in hell would this be a measurable fuel mileage increase.

Or we could all just eat less. Probably save more weight going on a diet than buying plastic springs. :rofl

8 pound savings? Take off your air conditioning for six times the diet. You'll sweat off a little more after, so hey, bonus, party!

Love how they say they're less likely to break. Sure. Plastic springs are less likely to break than steel springs. On which planet?
