These are not springs, these are rigid helical rods. I tried to use two of them in the rear of my go kart, but they're so stiff that it may as well not even have suspension. I can jump up and down on the shock mount (weight of 170 lbs) and the frame flexes more than these so called springs. For a set they're about $10 cheaper than any other option, and that should be a red flag. They don't work in my application, and I can't imagine any where they would.

These are not actually shocks; they are stiff springs wrapped around something that looks like a shock, but is not.The "shock" is not a gas or oil pressurized cylinder, it's just a tube with some rubber grommets in it.The spring was so stiff that I couldn't really compress one by a noticeable amount by standing on it (~190lbs), so I took the spring off hoping to use just the shock part for my project. That's when I discovered that there was no force other than minor friction restricting the shocks movement internally. It's just a bolt with some grommets holding it in place.They do look nice though, if you need something decorative they're nice.

I built these into an electric powered car I built for my grand children. These are way to stiff for the application and don’t come with any kind of rating so I can get an idea of what to replace them with. I took them apart ant cut 1.75 coils of off the spring and now they will compress a little.

Very tight shock, holds up well to 200lbs for both shocks. Good construction, just be mindful you apply too much lateral stress or you will pop the bushing out... Shouldn't be a problem unless you are like me :)
