Why are you replacing what you already have and what do you use the vehicle for? Darren

Replacing because I fear it's on the same set for a long time and the right isn't great especially in the back.

Mix of on and off road so really looking to improve the ride.

If you're looking to replace worn out originals, then you won't go far wrong by replacing them with new versions of the same (Armstrong shocks, not Britpart). If you run near to empty and find the back a bit harsh then something like the comfort springs from Alive may fit the bill, albeit at the sacrifice of some load carrying ability.

Alternatively, a combination of standard springs and Bilstein B6 dampers have a good reputation. Darren

Was just looking into the Bilstein B6 dampers and standard springs combo actually, looks good.
