Hi, i wouldn't recommend koni's unless you want your bodyshell to crack in half! They are way to stiff even on the soft setting.

I had Bilstein's under my replica. They were very good. Still, i would recommend those from Diesel because they are the right stiffness. Diesel engines are heavier then the petrol engines. Absorbers are usable together with original springs.

I would second Chris's comments. I have yellow konis on my silver four door and they give a bone shaking ride compared to the standard dampers.

I have decided to go for the Diesel shock's, thanks for providing the link Robert.

I think that the cost is reasonable, 60Euro for two shocks and 25E to courier to the UK.

My Palpal receipt is for ?76.31which when you consider my local factors wanted ?100 for a pair and most advertisers on Ebay uk want ?70 each, thats nearly buy get one free. Grin Grin Grin Grin
