The rear (the blue ones) look like mazdaspeed shocks, while the front ones look like they are stock or similar. I can't really say without looking at some part numbers or stamping on them, but they are just typical struts, nothing to be impressed about.

As far as the springs, the rear ones look like they MAY have different springs, but the front springs definitely look stock.

Alright, how rare are the mazdaspeed shocks?

Trying to decide if I should buy them for cheap or not.
Description is very vague and so are the pictures.

Buying used unknown struts is too big of a gamble

The mazdaspeed shocks where made by KYB. Your much better off buying new shocks and spring combo or at least a MATCHING set of shock and springs for front and back, low mileage.

I was just curious; thanks for the input.
I'm buying some RSR Race springs
and haven't decided on shocks yet.
I also just bought a RE strut bar for the front, didn't want to pass it up.
