I've just fitted some to mine - noticed an instant improvement over the OE Shocks with a 40mm drop - the ride is much less crashy and harsh.

But, i've only done 30 miles on them, so thats all i've noticed so far...

The Blacks are OE Equivalent - that may be why

The Yellows are the shortened, Sport shocks.

Bilstein, or Koni, are both very good.

What did you buy B10's?
