Bilstein rear dampers

One of the dampers has a seized bolt in that I cant get out but you could replace the bush's and fit a new bolt

Hi mate, my Rallye has a manky set of rusty old spax on the back, will these be better?

These will be softer I suspect as the B4 are kind of a replacement for an OEM damper.

I'm going to say yes as I'm selling them lol
In all seriousness these do appear to be the most common upgrade on the forum, once the lower bush's have been replaced I can't see why they wouldn't be better than what you have now
