Same fittings as in top and bottom bolt setup, but they are stiffer than standard shocks  :y

Cheaper and better option is B4's from Bilstein in my opinion.

Put B4,s on mine and found them quite harsh so went back to Sachs,but being an Elite have become used to the much softer ride.

Imagine a B4 would suit a MV6 fine :y

I bought a pair of gas ones from Poland £30 delivered  :y

The new GM fitting kits were nearly as expensive  ;D

Just a heads up on B4's
I put a set on my Mv6 a couple of years ago.
The ride / body roll control is definitely softer so if your looking for a more sporty ride  :D  You might want to look at the B6's of another manufacturer  :)

OE GM dampers aren`t that expensive though I have reservations on the quality of Sach`s products these days after suffering two early failures of dampers
