I won this auction but don't really know anything about these struts.It has hks camber plates and hks strut mounts and I'm not sure what springs are installed. The camber plates and strut mounts are worth my money by itself. I have heard of them in the motorcross and street bike world but not for cars. Are these struts really that good?I tried searching "ohlin/ohlins" but nothing came up. Thanks in advance,Adam

if theyre not blown thats an amazing deal

theyre not lying when they say those are worth $1,600 for the set...one of these costs more than an entire set of most popular dampers

this is why ive got to think theres something wrong with them...but if not, amazing deal

I have some kyb agx rear shocks with eibach pro kit springs, will these front struts work well with those rears? This is what I asked him before placing a bid. So if they are blown I will raise hell and get a refund. Q: Are these in working order? any damage? What springs are on them and do they come with them? What strut mounts are they? thanks Sep-24-06 A: strut mounts are HKS good working order no damage! I need to look at springs! We have a local offer so please bid if interested

i dont think these would work well with agx rears, the damping is probably way different...but i couldnt say for sure

Can anyone else give me some input on how these might pair up with my agx rears. I need as many opinions as I can get. If they are not gonna pair up well together then I'll probally just take the hks plates and mounts and sell the shocks and put that money towards some agx fronts. I'll figure it out.

Well after calling and talking to the shop I purchased these from I'm still trying to find out some things. I have found out that these struts are 24 way adjustable and come with hks pillow ball mounts plus hks lowering springs. I'm trying to find out what the spring rates are on these springs. I have searched and still have nothing. If anyone knows where to fnd this out please let me know. Thanks,Adam
