The shocks are definately not original. They're too grungy to tell what brand but they don't look like Bilstein or Sachs-Boge, more like the canister-shaped KYB type.
I found much better prices stateside than Canadian on-line suppliers too, so I think I can get 4 for less than $300.00, delivered. Still not cheap though, so I'd still like to get opinions on Bilstein vs Sachs-Boge. Actually, my preferred supplier only stocks Sachs for the front, so I was thinking of 4 of them....
