B46-1913 and 1914's no longer exist. They were replaced by the BE5-2406 and 2407's. While the 2406's aren't too bad, IMHO Bilstein completely screwed the pooch on the 2407's and made them more like DeCarbon's. They upped the compression and lowered the rebound--stupidly.

For $349, which is what we sell a set of HD's for, we use a rear shock that fits and they DIDN'T mess up.
