Bilstein. Spax's ride is quite harsh.

I've got Billies sprintline kit and would advise them.

Don't get the black ones though, everyone says there crap.

I have no experience of either so my comments don't really count but Bilstein seemed to be highly thought of.

Mine were about £350. So if they are cheap I would guess they are the black ones.

because they are just a copy of the original equipment damper but a bilstein version. so they are not shortened or anything and i dont think they are an uprated damping rate either. im not 100% sure on that but thats what i recall.

plus i have had experience of them and even compared with a gmax set up i have found them to be shit.

if your going to get bilsteins then go for one of the yellow kits, b10's, b12's or a Sprintline kit.
