Default Recommendations for rear shocks

Hi all,

Rear shock mount has sheared which was a bit alarming.

Since I've got to replace the mount I figure I'll do some preventative maintenance and replace the shocks whilst I'm at it.

Are there any favourite choices amongst the community?
I was thinking Bilstein, but ECP have 4 bilstein variants ranging from £65 to £134 each (before their half price sale currently) and the fitment detail doesn't give any indication which is applicable to my car.

2007 (56) V50 2.0D.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

Bilstein B4 is their OEM equivalent replacement and I've heard good things about them.
