              Per FunkWeasel's build thread on MG,

              ATM 0004635132
              -or-
              ATM 1244630432

              from a Mercedes work better. And they're cheeeeeap!

              I'll be going this route myself. They appear much more robust.

                It certainly doesn't do a lot, just realised I haven't refitted mine after swapping racks and it feels fine. I can't say there's no difference because I've gone from a shagged 3B rack to freshly serviced ABY item and the steering feel is totally different.

                I'll try putting it back on and see if I can tell.

                      I was able to get two C4 UrS4 dampers off ebay.com for a decent price last year.

                      The PN for a C4 damper is 4A0425021. There is also a Audi Fox damper that works (PN 305424021 2) and usually costs less. Currently ECS tuning has the C4 damper for a bit more that I paid:
