    Are these factory?

    I was curious if anyone knows anything about these rear shocks. They are really stiff. I was having a problem with noise from the rear springs. It always seemed like the car wasnt putting its full weight onto the coil springs in the back. These rear shocks seem really stiff. The say De Carbon...made in France. Anyone know anything about them?
