Mk IV Shocks
Bilstein are a good option for road and race, I have used Konis and they are excellent as well. The mistake people and some kit car manufacturers make is they get a Bilstein budget version normally with say 11mm shaft and fit it to a vehicle with some alignment issues and they have issues, I had a guy here who did some Bilsteins and one end had 14mm shafts and the front end had 11mm, I circumvented him and went directly to Bilstein and they supplied some excellent custom race shocks with 14mm diameter shafts etc.
A lot of cars like Aston Martin etc come out with Bilstein or Koni shocks so if you think you might want some options and get a bit serious spend a bit more money and the right shock for the job.
