OEM or have you upgraded? If upgrade what ones and how much were they?
Need to do something about mine soon and not sure whether to go OEM or upgrade. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Are the bodge ones that Kwik Fit sell any good?

So many options! Probably easier to specify a budget as there's something at every price point and then take it from there.

Having spent a fair bit on a new intake, downpipe etc money is tight so am leaning toawards OEM. What OEM shocks do we have? Is it Blistein ones? Thanks.
I take it the kwik fit bodge ones are no good?

And do you guys advise replacing all four shocks at the same time or just go with the ones that look/feel more worn? Thanks.
