Nay--sort of.

What you have are indeed junk. However, the fronts are also no good, not just the rears (unless you somehow drove the back of the car and left the front home over those 100k+ miles). In that context anything would be better, better being relative.

These particular Bilstein's are a poor valving, which is why I do not sell them. We have a different valving, for about the same price that is much better. That particular rear shock you linked is far too much like the OEM DeCarbon valving.

Here's the set of 4: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=20&ModelID=7

Bottom line, you can do better (even within Bilstein). You should also replace all 4.
