Please would you be kind enough to update your profile to confirm your car details which will allow us to confirm correctly...

Facelift/Prefacelift model? Engine Size/Type? Estate/Saloon?

The guys on hear will nearly always recommend genuine parts but I believe self levelling shocks are available aftermarket from one of the big motorfactors. IIRC they are around £140 ea. from dealer :o about half that aftermarket.

There is always the option of doing away with the self levelling system also.

See if you can spot a senior member on here that is local to you (location on left of post), and blag a favour if you don't have a card :y
