Default Bilstiens or Teins?

Right then you lot i need some help. I've got a badly leaking shock which needs replacing. The set-up on my car is the Sti Bilstien prodrive suspension,i've been offered a full set of brand new bilstien shocks and eibach springs for £450 and a set of fully adjustable Tein Control Master Shocksand springs which are used but in excellent condition for £695. What should i go for?
Thanks

Another option is to have the billies rebuilt.

Hmm hadn't thought of that option, but as they've done 80k and i've been offered new ones at a good price i think i'll get those. Still not sure if i should pay the extra few quid and get the tiens though

If it is a road car, take the first option. (IMHO)

Thought you may have suggested the AST GB Graham for that bit extra?

Why do you suggest the billies mate? I'm thinking that way myself at the moment as they're £250 cheaper and brand new. Was there a more technical reason you were thinking of?

Although a little soft for track work I do love my billies, very forgiving.
Stick with the Prodrive
