I'm looking to replace both front and rear dampers, want to stay 'standard'.

I know the B4 is an OEM substitute and probably cheaper than the Peugeot parts.

Has anyone tried both in good condition and have a preference?

Thanks.

B4s with eibach and o/e rear shocks seemed to work really well on my first gti6

Thanks, both

Peugeot ones are £157 a pair front, £141 a pair rear, less any discount. B4s I've seen for £84 front, £77 rear, so I can see me going with B4s if the performance is very similar.

Cheers

Peugeot ones are so much more I personally would always go with B4's

Too be honest I'd go with B6's if I was staying standard height

B6s are significantly more expensive though.

Thanks all for your thoughts. This is for my 'urban warrior' - I need something compliant for the potholed grind to work so I'm looking to have it on standard height springs and standard-ish dampers.
