Can't see them now :? Honestly, placing an eBay ad and not including photos is a crime that ought to be punishable with serious unpleasantness :evil:

That seems a lot for a pair of shocks to me anyway?

I see they went for £93 plus £15 postage. Good value I think.... anybody on here?

The German Bilstiens had no bids at £100 plus £16 postage.

Back in the day, Bilstiens had a better name (and quality) than Konis. But that was 30 years ago and doesn't tell you how they have lasted....

Just went for a drive in my sons 135,000 mile Ford Focus, which had new sfront shocks last week. It has made a surprising difference - feels much more safe at motorway speeds and far fewer vibrations. Maybe buy some for Miss January next month.

Hi cameron94, you should introduce yourself in the appropriate section and tell us about you and your car. And most importantly include some photos (of the RX7)
