tien springs: real or fake

hey guys, i'm thinking of getting 04~06 ralliart tien springs for my 08 lancer. I found a source that are selling them at a pretty decent price, but I also heard there are a lot of tein knockoffs.

What do i need to know to tell them apart from knockoffs? and so far 04~06 ralliart teins are still good on 08 lancers right?

Thanks!

Clue Number One: the Box

Hey.. until my car is actually gone, I'm still keeping my plans in mind haha.

I'm not gonna sell my car unless I absolutely have to. Some sort of luck has to come my way eventually.
