I bought these kybs off ebay. There was one problem on the side of the shocks where the two holes that are supposed to get drill back to the rotor or piece it connects. The holes are to far apart? those two holes are also further apart from each other comparing to the stocks shocks i took out. did anyone have these problems.

today i got new struts put in today. no more stupid scratching noise. turns out the kybs i bought from jdmwers was right after. the only thing was he sent me only one circular nut to tighten the strut cartridge to the shocks and he sent me to Right rear. atleast now i got extra strut cartridges and a Right rear shock. So when i need to replace them again all i need is the left rear and another circle piece thing so i guess in the long run everything went alright. thanks everyone for their help. peace
