I don't think that a set of OEM springs (Japanese or not) are going to be cheaper than the Dinan ($899 including the new bump stops) set especially if they have to be ordered and shipped from Japan, ordering these Japanese springs is not going to be easy (just try to order an Euro bumper) if even possible and only the issue of safer will be dependent of the OEM shocks being the same as the USA or not.

That's a lot of ifs...

These Japanese springs remind me of the Euro springs for the MKV GTI which were lower than the USA's for 2 model years by about the same 10mm.
