From what I heard Britpart have not really a good reputation on spare parts. Not sure on shoxs. I also know Koni Raid are very good but expensive. Then I would suggest OME.

Anything you get think you have a local representative at home. Puma 110" SW

Which ones have you got fekete? I have just got hold of a set of rear bilstein 5300 remote resovoir shocks and now looking for some front shocks so wouldn't mind keeping to the same brand name.

Hi Glyn... Not to sure all i know is they are bilstens HD mate...when i got them fitted the garage told me they are the best for what i needed and they have been i'll look after see if i can get a number

Edit/ part number
Front 625670020 HD
Rear 625530030 HD

Looking at your part number it must be the middle numbers they go off... so i've got the same Rear 5300 so my front will be 6700 hope this helps.

Cheers for that Karl,

All the numbers I have are 5300-526. Looks like you say the 5300 is the same as yours. Now I will have to have a look around to see if I can find out what the 526 means ;S

Glyn just had a nose on Google and i think the 526 must mean remote reservoir my shocks haven't got the remote reservoir they are just standard one piece HD sorry if i've confused things
Mine just look like this
