850R Front Struts

[Joolz_850R]

Hi All,

I need to replace one of my front struts as it is now weeping. I have no idea as to what to replace with? I will swap both front struts out but can anyone point me in the direction of what would be a suitable replacement or is main stealer the only option. Not looking to lower the car, just keep it as is or slightly up rated if that's the only way.

Cheers

These will be fine KYB are a good Oe quality shock, id only change the rears if they are worn out. but certainly do the fronts in pairs

Change them to standard rear shocks bud, and a set of Lowing springs with non self leveling rear top mounts

I use the car to pull my caravan so the nivomats work really well. Just don't like the new price.LOL
