If you have self levelling, they are dealer only (£150 pair). For non self levelling, you have more options.  I tend to use genuine, £80 pair.

I don't think they ever put selflevelling on 2.2?
But I could be wrong.
I replaced the front ones last week but my car was standard not sport. Used Bilstein shocks.
Also some people recomended Kayaba ones

I fitted KYB (Kayaba) Gas-a-just to the rear of mine just over a year ago. Can't remember how much exactly but around £25 each rings a bell. Along with Lesjofors uprated rear springs at £33 each, the rear was sorted. Nice and firm but not harsh.
