GSF Selling S60 new non-OE rear shocks @£60/Pair delivered

DaveL485 · May 5th, 2014, 14:15

Sixty quid a pair!

Have fitted these to my 2002 S60 D5. No issues whatsoever.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3808150731...84.m1423.l2649

GSF's eBay account, selling off new old stock I guess. 90-odd pairs listed there anyway. Bargain!

Strange. The listing is showing 2008 D5 as a 163bhp? Not 185. I wonder would they fit mine..

Just had a look.... unbelievably they are doing a further 10% discount bringing them down to £46.98 incl delivery !

Trouble is ... are they any good ?? Anybody ??

Believe they are "own brand" made by "Amtex" or could be "ALKO" having tried to do a bit of research.

Don't suppose they fit the s80?

I paid that from Ecp ebay site (same as car parts 4less) sachs, it's about what you should be paying imo.

I know you're talking rear shocks but this may be relevant anyway.

I bought non-branded front struts from GSF, after 6 months the bracket for the drop link broke away from its welds, and the one from the other side looked equally weak. Not good. I took them out and replaced with Sachs (Boge) from these guys:
http://www.carshockabsorbers.co.uk/ - I did all 4 corners.

They were better AND cheaper than GSF or Euro car parts. The old v70 handles and rides like a dream now.
