I imagine they will be ok, bilstein is a decent make. They will be pretty much o.e spec from what it says.

Beware that europerformance stock nowt, i rang them up about koni's a while back & they were totally useless.

I always found Eurocarparts better. However now I sell these Bilsteins i dont stock them either.

Aren't those yellow B series Bilstens the very excellent monotubes?

And the black ones are the duff twin tubes.

I tried to get the better Bilsteins for the 5GTT some years ago but Bilstein told me there were none and they would not make them for the 5.

I think the linked to description suggests those are for phase one.

Proper Bilsteins have been more like £500 a pair, not £110 a pair.

These are considerably less than £100 per pair mate. Also these are rears.

I think duff might be a bit harsh, they're OEM, ie original equipment. So, a quality standard part.

They are simply a replacement oe part. They do the job better probably. Billys rule. For the price of them they rock.
