I've had a poke around on the net for suppliers of OE spec components for refreshing my RS2's front suspension and there's a few options such as bestpartstore and even eBay. I was simply going to get everything from TPS but some items are NLA or stupidly expensive and I begrudge paying though the nose for parts that can acquired elsewhere at a reasonable price.
I'm after a pair of bottom ball joints, front dampers along with bump stops, gaiters and top mounts, a pair of drop links and though the current ones are okay I may as well do the tie rod ends whilst I'm at it. The wishbone bushes are fine having already been replaced recently with either Febi or Boge parts, would have to look at them again to check which.
Dampers are my main query, I'm not looking for anything uprated but do want quality items that are at least as good as OE and fit the legs correctly and without modification such as drilling holes or using adapter sleeves etc. What have folks been using recently?

, Lemforde all the way,Febi making rubbish now by all accounts,Errors expansion tank! But a man of your knowledge i bet you know that anyway. If you can't get OE shocks or if you can give us all a shout,i would go with Bilstiens B6's as they have an extremely good reputation and i have never heard any complaints about the way they go about their business,that's the shocks performance. Best of luck finding what you want.
