I have a tough time with eBay because of the lack of proper information on a lot of the parts sold on the platform. In this case, the second link you posted ($192) seems like the best out of the three and would be a kit I would purchase IF I knew for certain the shocks are for the sport suspension. The part number for the shocks for sport versus regular suspension is different, so this would be important to know. That page does not mention which shocks the kit actually has, despite listing both sport and regular suspension equipped vehicles as being compatible. That does not give me a good enough feeling to think these are sport. I would also be hesitant with an answer from the seller as lot of them just go by the built-in compatibility checker, which in this case isn't accurate.

I would ask them for a specific part number for the shocks, or buy from a place that can give you a definitive part number on the shocks such as ECS Tuning or FCP Euro. It's worth looking into this as non-sport shocks on your ZHP isn't going to be "right".

For reference, RealOEM lists the part number for the RWD E46 330 with sport suspension as 33522282461.
