I was looking at that brand the other week for my car. Seems decent, but pictures are a difficult judge.

I bought the complete kit from that cie last week, i'm installing them today. I've paid 300$ for the complete set. They seem to be of good quality, but there is no mention anywhere on the casting about the Cie that build those parts or about there country of origine ??? The seller indicates they are built by Febi/Bilstein. There is no way to be sure about that affirmation. Anyway i'll keep my old parts just in case... Future will tell if they are just cheap chinese reprod.

Please let us know how it goes, I was looking to get those as well. It would be nice if they were made by Bilstein.

i also bought the whole kit for my 1997 a4 and i have to say that for the price i was surprised with the quality of the parts i received. Everything was there and everything was direct bolt on. Easy install just takes a while. Im satisfied with the way my car drives and handles now. I just bought an S4 so I will def buy from them again.
