Yes,

MV6 are different to the rest of the range and drop and stiffen the car slightly.

Recommended are genuine GM, or Bilstein B4's

And the genuine GM ones are BOGE, which is owned by Sachs nowadays  :y You can get BOGE ones with all the same stamps as originals  for a lot less money than the same parts from the dealers, at least that's the situation in Finland  :y
