You might get more responses if people don't have to search out the pertinent info. That being said I like the bilstein shocks but I have all hotckis parts so I can get matched shocks for my spring rates and suspension.

If you used matched components then I'd recommend using the shocks recommended by the manufacturer, otherwise QA1 adjustable shocks are popular.

Since you aren't in the US, I'd have to say whatever brand is easily available, can provide adjustability, offers some sort of technical or rebuilding service, and is within the budget you want to spend.

Best bet off the top of my head would probably be Koni. Since you have altered the spring rates of your suspension, you are going to need a shock with greater control than a stock replacement type. Being able to talk to a technical rep to explain your set up and get recommendations on which units will best suit your needs will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

I will order them from US. PST recomends KYB and I have good results with them on Europen Cars. They are also cheap..... Here in Norway many of my friens says KONI s.......! Bilstein are they better than Koni?

Thanx

KYB is the bottom of the barrel. Right there with the Auto store Monroes. Konis are very good and Bilsteins are very good. I would go for what you can get that is adjustable or find someone knowlegable who can tune the shocks to your needs.

Monroe are really low on the line....... Since i'm not to fond of KONI I will go for Bilsteins, if you guys dont put other ideas in my head :-)
