Well 3 out of 4 shock absorbers are leaking. Need to find replacement but so far prices have been so far 100 GBP each! going to do all 4 anyhow, does anyone know of a cheaper brand or supplier many thanks!

you should be able to get Koni`s for less than 100GBP a piece.

nope-mx3

got a quote for full set of Bilstein @ 305.00 GBP might sound like a stupid question but do the springs have to be released to replace the dampers if so is it worth replacing the springs for lowered versions? just a thought.

You should be able to find aftermarket shocks cheaper than that.

down to three quotes, does anyone rate the three different brands to help us decide;

set of Monroe shocks 270 GBP
set of Koni shocks 326 GBP
set of Bilstein shocks 305 GBP

You can get bilsteins ?
They are great I tried to get them and they said they weren't available for our cars ?
Whats the deal ? Does the Euro version have different mounts or something ?
Thanks
Kris

The mx-3 does not have 'Shocks' people! We have struts...big dif.

Will double check with the supplier to re-check his listings, whatever it is a strut or a shock it is leaking. Even in the dryest of weather the bottom part of the strut around the suspension ring theres a wet greasy dirt feel that never dies out unlike the dirt build up found behind the wheel arch for example.

Can someone please get a part number on adjustable Bilsteins if they make them for our car .
Thanks
