Which shocks(dampers) do you use?

I guess there are

1. stock
2. KONI yellow
3. Bilstein (?)
4. Eibach
5. KW (?)
6. Aragosta (?)

for me, stock with Eibach coil spring & lowering torsion bar.

What are 'green blood' shocks Peter? I need to upgrade my rear shocks soon, are they a locally (Australia) item?

Sorry, it was a joke, the very best shock absorber of all, TOTAL LHM (Citroen owners call it green blood).

I do know that the front of the Mi16x4 is a lot stiffer than the Mi16. I'm not sure whether it's the springs or the shocks. Both of my cars have OEM parts.

Ahhh, so that was in reference to the hydraulic rear end..... will still end up replacing them with BOGE items.

I did wonder as i've noticed mine feels stiffer, or sharper, but put it down to worn stuff on the only other Mi16 i've experienced!! rolleyes.gif
