Shock advice..

Hello all,

Now I'm running nice and low I fancy in a few months upgrading my shocks!

My first choice was bilstein b6 shocks..

Now what do others run?! Any recommendations?!

Thanks chaps!

Do you not need B8 shocks - same as B6 but shorter for lowered cars.

Some find the B6/8 shocks too stiff for ordinary road use and go for B4 shocks (slightly stiffer OEM shock).

Totally forgot about this!

Thanks for the responses guys! the ohlins look great, slightly pricey though!

I had in mind spending £400 tops for all 4 shocks..

So will be bilstein B4 shocks be suitable for matching with H&R Srings?
