Had my rear suspension apart today on the old 200TDI Discovery to fit H/D springs and noticed one of my shocks is knackered (minimal damping and the weld at the top is broke through).
So its time for some new shocks. I'm going for gas shocks (heavy duty). There seems to be some choice out there... Koni heavy track, Bilstein heavy duty, OME heavy Duty, OME Extra heavy duty. Dunno which ones to go for.
I've had Bilstein before but not these new heavy duty ones. OME extra heavy duty are the same as the Heavy duty ones so may as well get them if I go that way. The Bilstein are slightly cheaper by about £10. What advice would you guys give me?
Cheers John

Hi John, I put Armstrongs (cheap as chips!!) on the wifes Tdi 200 and some smart gas ones on mine (tdi 300) and to be honest her car rides better than mine, so my advice would be: - Suspension
