On one hand: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
On the other hand: That seller has a ton of positive feedback.

Those are the touring Shocks, I am sure they are better than the KYB'S or Sachs that were on mine, but not better than the Koni or the Bilstein HDs that I have now. You can join on the group buy and get them for 496 shipped or you can get the touring ones for around 330, it is truly your call.

From what I understand Bilstein is trying to get some of the oem market, they are twin tube vs single tube and turner motor sports says no to anything other than HDs or Sports

I have noticed this, usually the more expensive ones from this seller usually also has lowering springs.

I purchased from this seller 2 years ago, no issues at all.

I flipped through 40 pages of feedback and the only thing I saw was a few 'neutrals' for it taking 6-14 days for the stuff to show up.

how's the ride quality and the handle? the car is already lower, I just need the change the shock

They are the cheap twin tube design. Ive got the sports and really noticed a difference(my old ones were beat). Go to bilstiens web site and read about the differneces in the shocks and struts.

Ride quality is slightly firmer than the oem sport suspension, but by no means harsh. Handling improved slightly with more body control.
