The munroes will be aftermarket replacement items rather than upgraded performance.

The difficult thing with any of these shocks is getting ones that were engineered for the s2 as opposed to the other cq's.

I decided to go for new oem shocks, they were cheaper than most of the other options available.

Ok and do they feel good on yours? roughly how much? And sorry stupidist question last what does oem stand for?

Oem is original equipment so mine are from an audi dealer and are stamped with the original part number. I'll check the price tomorrow and let you know.

How do they feel still on axle stands I'm afraid.

Cheers mate appreciate your help

There's loads of folk on here running aftermarket upgraded shocks such as bilstein sport / sprint.

Then you have the aftermarket replacements like boge / sachs / munroe / kyb etc etc. These products aim to replicate the performance of the original shocks used on the car.

Loads of more experienced people on here with differing views on suspension setups etc.

Currently running on koni's but they've been on for years and possibly looking for options in the near future

Bilstien B6's with standard springs, great combo, cost around £500 for the shocks though

Bilsteins can be sent away and serviced or re valved so I was wondering if the same could be done with Konis and whether it would be cost effective, it was just a suggestion that may be worth looking into.

This thread would indicate they can be
