[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 1587476, member: 30520"] FYI, they are the same cylinders that you can get on Amazon from multiple vendors for much much cheaper. I've had both in hand and all the markings and such are identical. I think i've seen them as low as $50 for the pair. Really only one overseas vendor is making these and they are sold under so many brands. They are junk quality so hit or miss how long they last. It's just a little easier to stomach when you buy them for $30 each on Amazon. Almost a throw-away price. I think AM and LMR sell them for much much more. The cylinders are also a slightly larger diameter than original. This means more fluid is required to extend the cylinder a linear unit. As a result, the lift speed is slower with aftermarket cylinders compared to originals. Same for the pump as well. Amazon has the same as the other Mustang parts vendors for much much cheaper.
