That's because they are good quality.
Good quality dampers are not cheap to design nor manufacture.

Remember most people compare new "competition" parts agains 10/15yr old parts.
Of course they will feel the nuts, when you put them on.
But I bet you put a brand new set of shocks on and they will be as good.
I'd go b6/b8 with eibach 30mm
If I remember correctly B4s are inexpensive compared to OEM shocks unless you're buying cheap quality aftermarket OEM.
A full set of B4s is really cheap, 160 or something like that.
I didnt want anything to cheap! But I can't afford b8s at the moment, but wanted to know if the b4s were any good as they are in my price range
For normal road driving to replace tired old shocks they are good, yes. If you're not looking for lower and stiffer and just want to refresh the handling to be in more "new" condition they'll be great.
They are fairly well priced on kamracing if nobody can find you a good deal.
