BWI Magneride Struts and Shocks

[06 Taco]

I need to replace my Magneride shocks and struts. I found good pricing on e-bay with a limited lifetime warranty for the BWI. I did a little research and I think BWI may be suppling struts and shocks to GM although I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone used BWI suspension components on their GM vehicles?
Here are a few links:

Has anyone on the forum used the BWI struts that are for sale on E-bay?

I got to think they may be fake as I have never seen OEM replacements with springs or clips attached. If they are real its a great deal. I never understood why they charged so much for these shocks just because they have some metal in the juice...

Genuine GM BWI active magneride fronts do not come as a full strut with springs but Arnotts do - and they come with clips attached. So much easier to change out full struts. Unfortunately, Arnott only has 2 year warranty now while GM is lifetime. I used my old springs at 78k and they were fine, but the job is more tedious. The Arnott struts are $206 more EACH at RA, so the $80 I paid to have the 2 springs exchanged at a shop still saved me $320, and I got lifetime. The ride is great...

I replaced the shocks and reused the tops.

I'm in the market for new struts as well and have been eyeing the eBay ac Delco ones. They have been on the market long enough one would think if they aren't legit someone would have a problem with them selling counterfeit? I really want them to be real. Lol
