OEM FX4 Front Shocks 15k miles

THEY ARE NOT BILSTEINS, BUT THEY WILL SHIP IN BILSTEIN BOXES!!!

Ok so I think $50 is probably a safer bet.

Then why were my replacement Bilsteins marketed as shocks?
From their website:
"BILSTEIN 5100 Series Ride Height Adjustable Shock Absorbers "
ALSO http://www.1aauto.com/content/articl...cks-and-struts
"Coil over shocks are one of the biggest areas of confusion because so many people incorrectly identify them as "struts"�? when they are not. This happens because their upper halves, with the coil spring mounted on top, look extremely similar to struts. Their bottom on the other hand is a very different design. Technically speaking, the reason that a coil over shock is not a strut, is because it is not an integral part of the suspension. If you were to remove a set of coil over shocks from a car, the coil springs would come out with them, and the car would basically fall to the ground with ultimate lowness. Now, even with the coil over shocks missing, the wheels would still be attached perfectly to the vehicle, because of the multi-link or convention upper and lower A-arm suspension. The vehicle would also still be able to steer, though the tires would likely be scraping a few things"�¦"

These are about to be joined by a pair of stock rear shocks. Will let them go cheap.
