oem yellow sport shocks (new)

So I just purchased these off ebay for 189.99 shipped. Now before I brought them I did some research and talked to two guys running these shocks. One guy running them on a 99 3 series and the other 05 acura tl.. both the guys told me that there a very stiff non adjustable shock. That I would be surprised what I got for the money . I had tokico blue but never installed them. The blues I could actually hold each end of the shock and compress the shock with no problem. Not these they actually take a good effort to compress these shocks.

Clashez have you gotten these installed? I have a set on my DD which is a 98 Maxima with 134k miles. I have had mine installed for just under 6 months. I've had to swap out the front right strut once. The original just barfed oil everywhere after an encounter with a NYC pothole.

They are "good" if you want a cheap stiff ride. (TWSS)

The eBay vendor I got mine from sells them with no warranty except a 14 day return policy. I did get him to swap the strut when it spewed.

YMMV
