VRS Octy MK1, Bilstein B4 Shocks question

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Own a 2004 VRS mk1, with 115k on the clock and totally standard.

 

I believe that one of my front shock absorbers is shot and the knocking noice is terrible!, I've already replaced most of the front suspension set up.

 

I want to keep the car standard as possible, I've read a few topics on the site, my question is are the B4's a good replacement for the OE shocks?, and the cheapest one, If im going to replace the front shocks, would i need to replace the rears also?

Im on a real tight budget at the min, if i did replace all shocks could i get away with keeping the OE springs? or would i have to replace them also?

 

 

Any help would be great.

 

 

Thanks

You can't go wrong with Bilstein but another one worth looking at are H&R which have a good build quality
