factory ones, yes they are. But, find the manufacturer, as AJ did, and save $$.
I found a shop in new zeland that has them at around $45 a pair for the carryboy ones.

as of right now, i am looking at $35 a pair for the carryboy dampers. that is BEFORE shipping. They will be getting me a quote on freight from New Zeland to me this week hopefully

*edit* that price is if i purchase 20 sets, which i plan on doing
