Re: Front and rear shocks

I think original are over £100 each, and ok but you will get much better ride by fitting Bilstein from German and Swedish or Euro Car Parts, or De Carbon from Scorpion Racing in London, they are a little cheaper about £200 for all 4. Or you could try Koni which are about £280-300 , but they are ajustable.
Make sure you clean and then literally soak the top mounting bolts on the back shocks, you probably will have to cut them unless you are very lucky.
I went for De Carbon on the front and then Blistein on the back, much improved on bumpby roads.

Re: Front and rear shocks

I've always used Konis in my Gs... they are superb and seem to last forever in normal use.

Re: Front and rear shocks

Went for Bilstein B6 all round. Very happy but won't mention price as over here in rip off republic.

Nice on road and not too rough when going off it.

Regards,

Mike
