I'm presuming these are a copy of the Ohlins style shocks? As @Nat67 requested, please keep us updated on the fitting and performance.

I suppose that if you consider the number of OEM parts manufactured in China for all marques - there has to be a certain degree of knowledge and competence. There is also the issue of parts being cloned and sold as originals. It is a catch 22 situation whereby if you don't buy them at a silly price and try, you don't know the answer. But @chandelierman is right, you buy cheap, you buy twice!...normally

they are 13.5 inches tall and are air shocks.. they were priced same as two grocery bags so who cares if they crap out a month after install. I could buy 10 pairs for one set of wilbers.. imagine
