Has anyone got an opinion on meyle shocks on standard springs? I need new shock absorbers all round and these are more affordable than saches.......

Bilstien B4 are proved and tested as the best decent budget shock ... don't think I'd fit anything cheaper tbh?

Fair point, do I need to change the springs ( 1990 on what looks like the originals) they're not broken so assume they'll be fine?

.. The quality is remembered a long time after the price is forgotten .... But seriously will I notice the springs? On corners I feel like I need to put my hand out the window to stop it falling over at the moment.

I fitted the b4s on standard springs before but it didn't make a lot of difference in terms of body roll on it's own.
Fitting better springs made the most noticeable difference. I have Eibachs -40mm on there now (with the b4s'). Not a fan of lowering but cornering is a lot less sketchy now so it was worth it. |

B4s on and the drive is a lot better, much less roll on the roundabouts and less feeling like i need to put my had out the window to stop the van falling over!
it still gets blown about quite a bit on the motorway but nowhere near as bad as it was next stop drop link and radius bushes!!
