    Just replaced my rear two, it’s a bit of a pain defo the worst springs I’ve ever changed(due to the design of the rear suspension). You will defo need some wishbone spring compressors as the standard type will not fit.

    I used Febi Bilstein ones also sourced from *******. I’ve never had issues with Febi or Sachs so either are good choices.

    I spent some time cross-checking docs like this Sachs catalogue with what the online suppliers had to make sure I was getting something close to OEM spec on the specific suspension set up, rather than something that fits but is quite generic: Asset download.
