Ebay Struts/Shocks Adaptive--Anybody tried them?

Changed mine around 76-78k as one front had a weep, did all 4 and eibach springs, big improvement.. Main dealer wanted to just change the one weeping unit… complete bell ends. So I sourced a set and got an independent to fit them.

The front struts are installed with new Lesjofors springs front and rear. I am waiting for my wheels to come back from powdercoating,then I can take it for a ride-I will get back to you guys,hopefully we will have a lower priced alternative to the oem dampers..

Well,I got the car on the road. All I can say is it drives alot better than before-but I was driving on shot front shocks. I do notice a difference when going into sport+,albeit not as much as I would have expected. I will have to drive it a bit more to get a better feel for the new struts. I am happy so far.
