Even better mention you're a V@L member and get 'em at $44.96 each. Only difference is that we don't supply 'em in a pretty VW/Audi Box - we buy 'em in bulk. Not a gimmick, we just keep probing out there for importing agents willing to bring 'em in at an affordable price. Up until late last year the major importing warehouses were charging us almost $80 each (our cost). Important Note: Unfortunately, none of the Big Shock Names (KYB, Monroe, Gabriel, KONI, etc.) offer an aftermarket shock at this time. They claim not enough 'em to justify tooling up for 'em. It's a shame :-( . Jim / BusBoys@aol.com
