eBay

Parts itself: $64.32 * 2 = $128.64
Fees: $16.92 + $20.00 = $36.92
Subtotal (USD): $165.56
Shipping: $18.95
Total (USD) Shipped: $184.51
Total (CAD)*: $206.89
Total (CAD) with tax**: $233.79

* Used Bank of Canada exchange rate at 1.12
** Doesn't CanadaPost make you pay a handling fee when you pick this up?

So realistically, it could be $233.79 + $20.00 = $253.79


RockAuto

Parts itself: $94.14 * 2 = $188.28
Fees: $0.00
Subtotal: $188.28
5% Discount Coupon: -$9.41
Subtotal with Coupon: $178.87
Shipping: $53.12
Total (CAD) with taxes & coupon: $262.15

So like $10.00

Why are you multiplying it by 2? Did you not read the ad? It's 65 USD for the front PAIR. I just bought a set it came out to 100.xx USD which was like 115 CAD. Import charges are included in the price and there is no tax. Stop bein sceptical

Same set on Ebay US for 64.35 shipped.

Sounds too good to be true. Seller ratings are good though. I'll take a chance, my Illumina's are shot anyway.

Who cares if u jus got one's replaced u pay for these now and when u need cash u can sell them for 150 plus shipping and still make money while the buyer is still saving? Who wants to stalk up and be the a33 oe strut dealer? Lol

To someone asking if they fit 5g they fit and bolt up but I think the brake cable /abs hooks up a lil differently and you might have to use a ziptie or something iirc

Why does the ad say APX in the description under part number. Maybe someone will chime in when they receive theirs.

well, this might be too good to be true. The seller just refunded my money. :-( I haven't gotten an update from them yet.

Anyone else get refunded?

the US listing is still active. I would prefer a refund instead of getting a generic set. We'll see.

yeah, you are right. The listing is still there. So 2 of us have been refunded. I messaged the seller asking why my order was refunded. I'll have to wait and see what they say.

Whats weird about it is that the seller updated the posting at ~12:50pm EST today and changed the quantity. I thought there were 3 available this morning and it now shows 4 available. So the seller is refunding orders but increasing the qtys?

Actually, when I checked out, I clicked I don't have a paypal account so I could pay with a credit card. Maybe that is why. I have already contacted the seller but haven't heard back yet.

Also, just noticed it says if you don't have paypal to call them to setup payment.

Bad news.....I called the number listed on the ebay posting to see if I could set up payment and they said the reason my money was refunded was because they were out of stock. I asked if they would be getting more in stock and they said they didn't know since it would depend on KYB. I told him the qtys listed on the posting have gone up since I ordered yesterday and that seemed strange. They said they would update the posting.

So sounds like you got an amazing deal if you ordered when they had a few in stock.

I called them today and they said that they refunded me b/c they sold out right before my order went through. They do not plan on re stocking anymore

^^ Clearly there's no way they're gonna restock and sell some KYB's at that price, it's impossible.

If this was a legit deal indeed, then it makes sense they only had a few left and prolly just getting rid of old stock.

And it still raises questions in my head..

I'd love to see what the boxes and struts actually look like when someone receives their order from this seller, I've seen fake KYB's before, same as fake Apexi, and bunch of other ish..

Especially, if it's being shipped from Asia.

RockAuto sells the GR-2 rears for $57.79 each + shipping and you can almost always find a 5% off coupon. Looks like $119 shipped with 5% off. Just a FYI.

I got the struts yesterday. From what i can tell, they look genuine to me. Here is a picture of the box and the strut itself.

Yup that looks legit. Nice deal. Wish this came around when I was doing my suspension several months ago.

Fake ones I seen came in a more pinkish than red box and struts were different.

Anyway good sh*t cograts on that!
