Any good? ??? Very good price for these at Al's favourite sausage eating motor factors! 8)
https://www.atp-autoteile.de/group/1040100/product/8117/53332/details
Including postage it works out at £63.18 for a pair of front shock absorbers. :y
This compares to:-
Bilstein B4 x2 = £107.10 (Demon-Tweeks)
Meyle x2 = £90.68 (All German)
KYB x2 = £176.42 (Local Factor)
MaxTrac x2 = £199.98 (Local Factor)
I'm just mulling at the moment. ;)

Try AllGerman for the MaxTrac, they don't list them online but do sell them, at least for the rears. :y

Der Sausage Eaters have today increased the price from 34.79 euros each to 54.85 euros, bumping the price for a pair in sterling from £63.18 to £92.45! :o :(
I guess they've got a lot of refugees to feed. :-X

Bah... I see your €110 and jump up and down on it whilst laughing maniacally...

Ah yes I did see the 'Best Price' shocks yesterday, but the Optimals were a lot cheaper then...... ::) ;D
Somehow the brand 'Optimal' sounds more reassurring than 'Best Price'. :-\ :y

iirc Vx ones are £60-70 each for fronts...
Vx front shocks are £108 each inc VAT, so £216 for a pair. ::)
