well, I have one comment.... It's been my experiance that any thing marketed or named "Racing" is rarely ever used for it, or sutible for it.

other wise OBX makes some decent parts, but then they also make some crap parts...

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Anything besides the actual car that has the name 'Type R', usually comes across to me as Type Rubbish.
There's a couple names to know for buying shocks... Namely Bilstein, Moton, Penske, Koni, Tokico and KYB, then the coilover makers, but theres ******** of those too.

IT is labeled "free shippable" haha. Anyhoo, no one I hear has them. OBX make OK parts. Nothing spectacular. I would stick with tokico's.

i'd stay away from those. with $219, spent a lil more mula and tokico blues will be much better than those (most likely). but check out the shock/damper faq for the choices of shocks/struts available for our car.
