Options - strut failed MOT?
Have a serious leak on one rear shock. So I am guessing as my car has done 108k then I either:
Swap all 4 for OEM Camskill do them for £225 and use my newish Eibach springs
Or buy coilovers for £649+?
Any other options? Need fitted by 10th June.

It depends if you want coilovers or not? I've been thinking about them too, I've been put off so far by really hard ride reports, although the BC coilovers are meant to have a nice ride.
Could you just get a pair of second hand rear struts for now, save rushing into it?

I don't particularly want coilovers as standard struts & eibachs are firm enough for me at the mo.
I am just thinking that with 108k if I just replace the rears I will have tired fronts - so at some point will get them all done again.
So either replace all 4 with OEMs or go coilovers.
TBH I don't need coilovers though particularly and as mine must be tired @ 108k then replacing even with OEMs will stiffen/sharpen things up a bit anyway?
Just after some opinons so

depends how u drive it, it u use it like a track car on the road, fully adjustable coilovers are way forward as u have a choice of settings (my choice) or if u a sunday driver , driving miss daisy, then set of OEMs are more than suitable
