Happy new year everyone!
New year, new problems. So my rear shocks both have leaked out, looking at replacements it seems like only available brands are Magnum technology which has proved to be terrible brand in my experience and Bilstein which i have 0 experience with, from what I know they are ''get what you pay for'' brand. (Some stores offer KYB suprisingly, but, again, mixed reviews).
I was told in different forums that sachs performance and other brands have discontinued them 6 years ago. One of the options I got offered is to take 80 b3 front struts, cut off all the steering bits and put them in the back. 2nd option offered is to take C3/C4 socks and modify threads on the strut.
Wanted to ask has anyone ever done any of these hack'ish methods and can point me to/explain them in bit more detail? Maybe someone has experience with Bilstein/KYB? Problem I'm facing is roads around here that are ''sub optimal'' to say the least so I'm looking for somewhat decent solution that won't end up with shock replacement after a year or two.
