Baz you missed the best deal on shocks you'll ever get from Ally.
You'll now have to pay 3-4 times more I'm afraid.

Ive been talking to a mate of mine regarding the new setup and he thinks bilstein shocks n eibach springs would do the job nicely with new tops,arb links etc and he will do the work for mates rates in his new lockup.

Never used Koni's so can't say but you'll not find better value than billies as far as I'm concerned

On UK roads. i.e. not very smooth, you won't get a better ride than Billys.

Re: BILSTEIN SHOCKS FOR V6
I would say Knoi's are about the same, have had both and the Koni are a little bit firmer and harsh, but work very well
have also had the Bilstein and eibach springs, never liked the eibach springs myself just felt too much bounce with them
