I use OE on TC as the price is reasonable.

Alternatives are KYB's from the www.buypartsby.co.uk or Bilstein OEM's from www.balancemotorsportco.uk.

The Bilsteins do give a slightly firmer ride.

They`ve suggested "Gabriel" shockers, £21 + vat each. I think it`s an American brand. Anyone used these :question

On my '89 Senator i fitted Monroe heavy duty gas shocks.
They also fit Omegas.
Result was very firm rear suspension ride, but still OK for passengers.
Also when accelarating car did not 'sink' at rear, but remained at a level height.
I would use them again...
