    The Eibach kit in the first link is what we have put on ours. It’s a good kit and you get more with it than the second link by the looks of it. If I were to choose between bilstein and koni I would personally always go bilstein.

    Thanks i had the Bilstein kit in my watch list 'til i had the cash to buy, but it kept going out of stock. Then i saw the 20% Ebay code and found the Koni kit, but the Bilstein kit is back in stock so that was my first choice thank you for the input.

    I've fitted a few of the Bilstein kits, nice and very similar to oem, just a shade lower and firmer.

    I don't think you will go far wrong with either kit. Larkspeed are a great supplier too.

    I would naturally steer to the Bilstein as have a couple of cars with their B12 kit (same springs as the kit in your, different shocks)

    Edit - just a note to say also the Koni kit has matched shocks to the H&R springs where as the B4 shocks are designed first for factory spring height but will work fine with the eibach spring, which incidently was designed for the factory shock!

    I’ve had koni and would go bilstein all day every day :)

    Or some mega pricey KW V3’s
