Mk 2 rear suspension issue

[Simmy]

never used them but they are a recognised make . what price are they?

[MarvinMitt]

Monroe makes the 4C stuff and the regulars are also probably OK for a while but if you can afford the extra you might want to look for SACHS or Bilstein B4 for better feel and possibly durability.

Hi I hope all goes well, they are very easy to fit, no need to get a mechanic to fit them,
let use know how you get on,

I bought bilstein b6 and standard on front it feels a diiferent car they may be a bit frim for some but I like them. Sounds like yours are long gone so I believe any new shock will feel good. Get the best you can afford

had my shocks delivered today, the ones I ordered were part number.. 300 074blue label. and they have sent me .. 315 854 white label..
are these going to be the same quality or have they sent me a lower grade shock. thanks

Hi I have googled can not find any info, they will be fine, but you could phone sachs to put your mind at rest,

Back in 2015 I was in the same situation. Called the store... they called the supplier. They are the same.
You can check the Sachs online catalog here Click on: Show supersession
Have a look at the screenshot also.
The only bad new is, that in my case they last only 2 years. They started to leak after about 50.000 km (apr. 31.000 miles).
I hope yours will last much longer.
