    Lemforder VS OE VS Meyle vs TRW

    Hey guys,

    My car is long overdue a suspension refresh, she has hit the dreaded 100k miles a few months ago and I've been putting this on the long finger.

    The thrust bushings are cooked, but I'd like do do it all in one swift swoop, and if you know me I dont do things in half measures!

    I'm likely to go spurious, but what is your recommended manufacturer of choice?

    Lemforder gets the bill, but TRW are OEM and I do have a soft spot for Meyle!

    Cheers,

    C

    I'd go Lemforder where possible, Meyle HD everywhere else and TRW if you have to.

    Cheers guys! Safe to say I'll go lemforder where I can, Mrauto seems to have a good stock of it.

    With regards to shocks, its either Sachs or Koni FSDs, the FSDs are slightly more expensive but get great reviews. Anyone on here have them?
