Hi

I have a dilemma

I have a 2013 Audi A5 2.0 TDI Sportback S Line.
I want to replace the shock absorbers and I’ve been given two options from euro car parts and GSF:

• sports suspension
• standard chassis

which one am I supposed to go for?

I’ve found the answer. I have a 1BE suspension code so sports it is

Personally I would not purchase from either of those 2 shops. Even with their discount codes its still expensive.
Try https://www.autodoc.co.uk. They based in German and does take about 2 weeks to arrive.
Its free delivery if you spend over £150.

I purchased 4 shocks for my 2009 A5. OEM Sach brand £40 each rear and £52 each front. Lemforder front strut mounts £9 each side. You download their app on your phone and keep an eye on the discount. It changes daily..

You’re absolutely right... there seems to be a substantial difference.
I was going to buy the KYB shock absorbers as recommended by the garage.
I wonder if anyone has any experience of these.

I try not to go lower than OEM quality. Sach is normally OEM for Audi and BMW.

I am sure nothing wrong with KYB.

I am curious how much garage charge to replace front strut on A5. I am looking to replace these myself when weather improves. Did the job on previous vehicle BMW and took best part of Sun morning to complete both sides.

Also guys try Audi Parts, Spares & Breakers | Prestige Motor Services Ltd they are good with help and their service is fast too. I have used autodoc several times and they proved excellent!!

Absolutely sports suspension
