Bilstein are some of the best shocks on the market.

What about B8 if you can stretch to it ? I've got em on and they are wicked

These cars are full of 'shocks', usually the repair bill. :rolleyes:

I'd look at genuine parts first but don't get parts of this magnitude from the dealers unless you can't find them cheaper elsewhere.

to harsh for me. looked at konis. seem to be resonable money. monroes are resonable to blistiens would be first choice if were with in my budget.

boge automatic are probably the best oe shocks available for P2 cars, afaik, they can handle lowering springs with no problem and mine were 190 quid for the front pair from gsf.
