Author	Subject: B4s vs. standard Peugeot dampers
hampstead Junior User Location: Bath Registered: 15 Feb 2011 Posts: 96 Status: Offline	Post #1 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. ________________________________________ Matt

B4s I've seen for £84 front, £77 rear, so I can see me going with B4s if the performance is very similar. Cheers ________________________________________ Matt

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. ________________________________________ Matt
