Interesting. For $167 for all 4 as long as they work well for a year or two its a decent deal, assuming someone does their own labor. Very little to lose in that situation other than time and some scraped knuckles perhaps. If they look the same, ride the same, maybe they are?
The private label thing seems kind of odd along w the ground off numbers but perhaps that is part of the closeout situation, essentially no warranty other than through rockauto. I've seen stranger things before with other products and the deal was actually as good as it looks.
When you say rides perfect, do you mean compared to 180k old suspension or actually like close to new? Springs don't seem more harsh that orignal or anything else? Our perveptipn can get a little skewed after riding on old stuff for awhile.
I am about a day shy of turning 230k and I was planning on throwing on a set of the KYB this spring. If these truly are decent I'll grab a set.
