Part number(?) wizards please step inside....

I ordered some ST lowering springs intended for a b-body gm but they're going to be used in the pimpmobile cadillac I'm "building"

Anyhow, they showed up today. 2 of the springs are indeed ST's and have the correct ST number on them.

The other two are belltechs ?‍ with the number you see below. I tried Google searching the number and run it through summits website as well with no luck..

The hell do these fit? Lol. I'd like to figure that out at least before I figure out what to do about this. I bought them from a very well rated ebay seller.. the box had been opened previously.. very neatly re-taped and re-stapled with those big copper plated bastards.

the only luck I had was finding an expanded part number of 17 5110 001 A21 that appears to fit an F150.
Other than that, this is one of those mysteries that google fails us.

Stand both springs upright about 6 feet apart , apply massive amounts of voltage ,if you get lightning ,then those are Tesla coils ...

Thanks for the effort!

I'll probably end up just calling belltech, hopefully they can tell me what their number means.

Here we go boys, the plot thickens..


The belltech number is for the same application, but they're only a 1.5" lowering spring, the ST's are 2"

I reached out to the seller, saying the springs were mismatched.

Seller says "KW automotive owns ST and belltech, this is a normal thing for them to do, its fine, they shipped it to you directly"

Call up KW and the rep tells me NO they DONT ship out mismatched springs, and that the ST springs are actually obsolete and are no longer getting produced. Furthermore.. they have ZERO record of my name or address, obviously meaning they didn't ship these to me.


(I now remember having a bad experience with this seller a couple years ago. Blew all the hot air up my ass they could and and then bribed me with 150$ to delete my bad review)


I told the seller I'd be happy with a meager 20% partial refund. More than fair. They'd spend more than that on my return label and then paying one of their lackeys to undoubtedly restock the mismatched set of springs to hopefully re-sell to someone who doesn't notice.

Reminded them ebay doesn't appreciate inaccurate/dishonest listings, and nobody likes a bad review.


I'd reccomend not doing business with the eBay seller 'modernautomotiveperformance'

theyll hold your money for a month for a part they don't have in stock (but claimed to) without letting you know it's backordered, and are apparently just generally dishonest and weasel-y.
