I have those already haha and the driver thread for the install. I'm doing it right, that's not the issue. Thanks for the link though.
Apparently these guys supply Stillen, hence the identical product for 1/5th the price.

Hi! Sorry for my staff mistake. He say you have the stillen manual. He has a same manual from stillen. We are a damper supplier of Stillen. So he think the goods may doesn't fits your car. The damper could be adjustable by screw in the top right of small ball joint at the picture we show in ebay. You could adjust the ball jount to long. I'll let our people to take the picture to show you if you have any question. Sorry again! We'll do our best. Thanks!

I bought from an American source to avoid issues like this haha.
Anyway, all is good now. These are actually length adjustable, top nut controls height.
I have it all installed now, just stripped the block because I got excited and didn't wait for it to cool down, so I'm waiting for it to cool off so I can tap the hole and try again.

I wouldn't do business with anyone who communicates like that.

Haha whatever it's ebay, cant get your hopes up regardless.
Anyway, finished the job. Tapped out the stripped hole in the block and reinstalled the adjusted damper, managed to force it over the bracket so it fits properly without issue now.
I didn't notice much, wheel vibrates a tiny bit but not as much as I expected from everyone else's comments. The only real difference I noticed is no wheel hop so far, and the shifter barely moves when I let off the throttle. It used to jolt a few mm back and forth before, now maybe 1/4 as much.
It sure looks pretty though.
