Is it worth fitting bilstein b4 over standard shocks? Or are they exactly the same? 

What brand are oem?

Bilstein B4 are soft, B6 are "sport", B8 are shortened-piston sport shocks. 

 

If you're looking for factory-style, then B4. But the KW street comfort gets all the plaudits elsewhere. YMMV. What do you have and what are you looking for?

Just thought I'd refresh the shocks as I'm having springs fitted (h and r). 

For 180 I can get a full set of b4 delivered, which I'm hoping is a tad nicer to drive on than oem. 

What brand are oem? My cars only done 26k but might be worth a refresh

Does anyone know of any replacement shocks that would offer a nicer ride on the vRS ? I am not needing to lower the car, just after a bit more refinement over our crappy road surfaces
