    Shocks

    I'm hoping someone can give me a part no. or advice.
    I need to replace the rear shocks on my 2009 Passat TDI sedan. In Aust it appears that all i can find are Bilstien at a ridiculous price.
    Is there any other brands or a part no. for the Bilstein so I can purchase OS?

    Cheers

    Have you tried looking on ECS Tuning? They have Bilstein, Koni, as well as OEM manufacturers.

    Have a look. Prices are good but you have to factor in the conversion rate and shipping. Most of the time its still cheaper than buying locally.

    koni partno should be 8040-1352 (check for yourself).

    I'm not sure what you mean by ridiculous...

    $325
    Koni Stoßdämpfer Sport Gelb Hinterachse Hinten 2X 8040 1352SPORT | eBay

    $360
    Koni Yellow Pair VW Passat 06 08 Rear Shock Strut | eBay

    If the rears are gone then the fronts not far behind

    $900
    Koni Sport Front Rear SET 4 Shocks Struts Passat 06 08 | eBay

    OEM spec Bilsteins = $250/pr
    KYB excel-G = 220/pr
    bilstein Yellows = $450

    Try eurocarparts.com they have OEM spec sachs & bilstein for about AUD100 plus shipping (no idea what they charge).

    Micksgarage.com charge $24.50 delivery they have OEM spec boge ($250) , sachs, meyle ($110), optimal ($110) & kyb

    Personally, I'd go with the Koni Sport Yellows if you intend to keep the car a few years.

    I don't know anything about either of them.

    They'll probably come in at about AUD1k
