Default tockico blues shipping weight

so i ordered a complete set of 4 tockico blues recently and just got my tracking #. so i check it out, and the shipping weight is a measley 10lbs. maybe it's just me cause i'm extra analytical and super skeptical, but somebody put my conscious to rest...does a set of shock/struts weigh 10lbs? if you answer yes, i'll most certainly sleep better tonight

not sure what type of car you have but accroding to this site http://www.weaponspeed.com/HONDA-01-...s-p-20974.html for a 01-02 civic they weigh 35 pounds. that seems to be average weight after browsing the site

oh jesus...well, i ordered them from importhorizon.com i'll check the e-mail again to make sure i didn't mis-read it

EDIT:and upon further review, i believe the doo-doo heads shipped a single shock/strut, not the 4 i paid for...online purchases ftl

lol, i just got a reply from them, they said they shipped only 2 of the struts in one package and they had to order the other two directly from tokico because they didn't have the complete set in stock. i'm SO relieved...i kinda feel bad cause i've been hassling them over the weekend about my order. but i imagine so would anyone else if they had any doubts about their $300+ order.

but if they sent out two in one.. the weight would have been 17 something? When we ship stuff we're told to round up.

^ as far as i know, the fronts are structured differently than the rears, so i'm guessing that there has to be a weight difference also. how much that difference is, i'm not so sure
