Yes, sometimes we get what we pay for, and that scepticism is where this post is coming from.

I commute in my 1995 318ti, no racing, and the road conditions aren't all that bad. My 24 year old right front shock has developed a leak at the shaft seal, so I guess it is time to replace the shocks.

Has anybody tried the $30-$60 shock sets listed by the tons in ebay? They are gas charged shocks and of course they look fine from an ebay picture. CN Batteries is listed as the brand if that makes sense to anybody. Batteries?!

let me know if you've tried CN shocks on anything and if you lived to tell about the experience.

Thanks!
Jon
