Their "ARTC Durability & Salt Spray" claim is probably worthless. That's not a standards organization... but rather a massive automotive test lab in Taiwan. If you paid for accelerated life testing and long-term corrosion testing, you'd proudly plaster the details up. When you want to rubber stamp "PASS" on a product, custom standards are great!

Just like with other CX Racing products, they make a compelling product at rock-bottom prices. If you're willing to deal with the hassle of poor tolerances, materials, and design... it can save plenty of $$ (upfront).

Please remember that a set of Tein Flex Z's cost about the same, and similarly a lightly used set of BC Racing coilovers. Both are better options, if you need coilovers (rather than springs/shocks).
