AGP have offered a full refund, so they were worth a go.

Cheap pattern parts  ::)  ;D

Which is why I always use AGP when they can supply specific parts I need, there is never a problem with refunds etc if there is a problem.  :y

Yes. Absolutely no quibble. Always had great service from them, I'll look to fit GM.

Having luxury of 2 Omegas, the one with GM shocks rode far, far better than non GM. Given the state of the roads these days, comfort is key!

Er Sachs Boge shocks.......

Would have fitted them (as Boge springs lasting well) but not available late last year when I was looking, out of stock everywhere. Instead I wanted to try Meyle shocks as having been impressed with their Drop-Links, but had 6 week waiting list, so was a bit stuck for anything none GM.

Was not keen on bilstein shocks, given various reports of quality I read here recently, also with ride being too firm for me.

I cant say I have ever found the Bilstein B4 result in a firmer ride (the B6 and B8 yes).

Sachs Boge are the OE supplier (hence what you get if you buy GM)

B4 is a direct replacement, but seem to last better (so retain new stiffness for longer). B6 are the sporty option.

The Bullet has B4's on the rear for several years, still good, no reliability issues. In fact, I think its outlasted 2 sets of springs...
