Welcome to the forum!

Does your car have Magride?

Hey joproductions, "variable damping" is another codename for MRC, and those shocks cost ~$400, whereas "standard" ones sell at ~$100 apiece.

It seems you mistakenly ordered an MRC left side shock, you need 84382053 instead of 84943060, plus 84382054 that you already ordered. These are the standard FE3 non-MRC shocks.

Kudos to arpad_m as he took care of the part numbers.

Wow, thank you so much! Now I understand, well I did a pretty expensive mistake but at least the other one I need its not the most expensive one...
