Blistein shocks are high quality, just not well known in the "Import scene" because they're not JDM y0. Porsche, BMW, and V-dub people use Blistein and H&R like we use Koni's and Ground Controls.

Bilstein shocks are comparable with yellow Koni shocks!
they are just not adjustable in height or stiffness...but they are VERY good shocks, made in Germany man, high quality!!
They are made 2km away from where I live, if you don't like them, I'll bang their heads...hehe...

go for them, 50$ is nuthing for them..
