Quick question, which rear shock absorbers do you guys use on your corsa B? Mine feels a little bouncy on the back and looking for replacement shocks. Was debating the ones from FK automotive but just wanted some opinions. Cheers.

Gaz rears. Been perfect on green car

On the blue one, I bought some cheap fk ones (about £30, from
That German site somebody linked to) done the job ok. I only use it as a run about though
