The Shocks are on their way out on my vr4, they’re standard and a bit boat like (not sure if this is because they’re standard or more because they’re very worn! Or perhaps both?). I also have two snapped lowering springs too! So I’m looking to replace the shocks and springs, I have been looking at Bilstein B8s, any experience with these? I don’t want anything too harsh, it’s for road not track hence why I haven’t been considering coilovers, but I still want to avoid the boat like cornering. So, bilsteins?

And is there much difference in buying expensive branded lowering springs compared to unbranded?

Any advice will help, otherwise I’ll just use my own judgment Thanks! Alex
