Rear Shocks

[blueboy44]

Hi all,

Ordered some Bilstein Shocks from Euro Car Parts, they've been in touch saying they don't have them and offering me the Sachs ones for the same price.

My question is are these any good or should I see if they're getting the Bilsteins back in?

Thanks in advance...

if you really want bilsteins give lmf a bell and i think they are cheaper too

Or you could get a refund & opt for Monroe reflex http://www.monroeshop.co.uk/?gclid=C...FRRc4QodgRv-XA

I ordered full set of reflex shocks & gts springs total price inc next day delivery £280...

are the spings standard or sri spec?? And i assume the reflex shocks are sri spec or higher??

I have Bilstein B4's all round mate and they don't make much difference to standard shocks. Not had them on long enough to advise on durability although they are reviewed well on here so for the price they seem to last... but if your after a sporty setup I would opt elsewhere...

I would of been disappointed with the Bilstein/Eibach setup had I not just had a little one which puts a positive on the fact that the car wasn't stiffened up as much as expected

the springs are opel gts = sri spec... the reflex shocks are uprated over standard kit.

B4's are no better than oe imo

Agreed, I was gutted... but compared to the price of the B6's I wasn't willing to upgrade lol
