I had used their older style shocks, but not those. Those actually look similar to Fox shocks, which may be the case. As Rusty's does not make everything they sell, some stuff is re-badged.

I have been searching for reviews of them for the last hour or so and have found Zero Reviews of them. They look very similar to the FOA Emulsion Shocks but not identical.

Holy Crap!!! Was going to order a pair of the shocks from Rusty's along with some mounting tabs and they want $39 shipping!!! :shock: Thats just a tad bit high I think, but the problem is, the next choice in shocks are Bilstein 5150's from Summit and they are as much as the shocks/tabs and shipping from Rustys. :banghead: I absolutely hate getting bent over on shipping costs.

If you call Rusty's and make your order, they will qoute you actual shipping costs instead of what their online calculator says. I thought the same thing when I used their online cart to order AAL's. The shipping was outragous. I called them and ordered over the phone and the shipping was like half the online amount.

Thanks for the hint. I will give them a call to order.

Did some more digging around and decided to go with Bilstein 5125's. Got them for $73/ea.
