On a quest to find cheap MR Bilsteins

So in my search for bilsteins, I came across this website that sells Bilstein's for the Evo:
http://www.eshocks.com/bil_veh.asp?M...&Manf=Bilstein

are these the MR Bilsteins?
Can someone give me a part number for the MR Bilsteins, I'm not sure if they match up. . .but if these are the shocks, at least this is a cheap option for those of us trying to soften up the GSR ride = $670 for all 4 new!

Used MR Bilsteins are going for that much!

sounds about right.

Thats about double the cost of the non-mr struts ~$275.

Great find.
Although I think the stock MR dampers may be all yellow?

Wow....Bilstein HD's for EVO. Nice and cheap. Good find....I'd recommend trying them.


EDIT: I don't know if they are exactly the same as MR Bilsteins, but Bilstein HD's are always a VERY good upgrade regardless.

well I ended up getting some used MR bilstein's, but SOMEONE should try them, it's a great alternative to the stock GSR/RS KYB's and maybe a compromise for those that need their MR Bilstein's revalved, etc. . .
