But just for completeness I'm gonna get a quote from Bilstein to rebuild the fronts. Guess I could always raise the height a bit at the same time - she is hella low!

I had assumed that's what you were talking about - standard S2 bilsteins, not LSS. I wouldn't bother with the LSS for road use.

Is it another case of 'get what you pay for'?
CRAP!

I have seen several sets of the most expensive GAZ Gold I think they are called with snapped ends! the casing round the bearing snapped in half! I would never trust my life to a set of these! You have been warned!

Another vote from me for the S2 standard Bilstein kit for an S1 ;-)
