Standard rear shocks

Post by Cruz »

The rear shocks on the van are most likely as old as the hills

Which afermarket shocks are as good as the original OEM shocks?

I have seen Bilsteins for £44.59 each from eurocarparts

or Sachs and Boge from Brickwerks (thought they sold Bilsteins too)

I replaced our 3 year old Socrap GSF ones with Sachs HD from Brickwerks ... massive improvement.

iirc, my fronts were boge heavy duty from JK. They used to sell decent stuff, ocassionally

I take it the sachs listed on brickwerks are the HD version?

No HD shocks listed on gsf site
