Well since they are the exact same design as the Ohlins I'd assume they will be great in corners but suck for everyday use. A friends got the Ohlins on his car and they are a auto-x friendly car but not something you'd want to run everyday. Thats why I have a Mitsu on the side.

Yep thats $50 for all four. The previous owner used them for about 2,000mi and thats it. They don't leak and they are in great condition. I've been telling people for three years now that yahoo Japan is the best place to find parts.

Honestly all you really need to do is find somebody like old_duwel on here who will be in Japan long after I'm gone and have him bid on the items for you. The seller ships them to his address and then he ships them to you in the US. Except for the part about old_duwel thats how I've been getting all of my parts. The seller ships it to me in Japan and I ship it to the US. FMIC's for less then $400 and all. That or maybe you could find somebody fluent in Japanese to buy the items, you kick them some extra spending money and they buy and ship the parts to you.
