What shocks?

[jayok]

I've lowered my 2.4 using H&R sport springs with is about a 40mm drop at the front and 35mm at the back. I'm on stock shocks and I'm looking to replace these now. Can anyone suggest a make/model of shock that can handle this drop and not blow quickly?

Thanks!!

Hmmn.... so it would appear that the Bilstein B8s are the preferred shocks here.

I just remembered Bilstein and skimmed the thread for your reference. Saw B12 in the opening post, but Bilstein B...? Seems to work well for Tiberious. I know they're on my radar for potential shocks in the future.

Researching them, they look good alright, I'll source some costs for the B8s.

Koni FSD dampers sound interesting- worth a look??

Ok - so cost for 4 of the B8s is €700 delivered. Let me check the price of the Konis

Koni FSDs are €820 for the set.

People seem to prefer the H&R and B8s as a single entity - hmmm... need to do some more research.
