i just picked up at kyb ultra gold replacement meant to be good and improved over the original design around £120 a side from camskill

i still have one to buy going to keep the 2 the same.

the originals and the ultra gold are the same dampening rate as well.

P.S mine had done 15K or less

Even outside of warranty some dealers are replacing with factory parts FOC...always worth phoning to ask your local dealership IMHO
