Default Struts and Shocks
Does Bilstein have a set of Dampers for a 99' A8?
You know.. the OEM replacement (think cheap.)

RockAuto does have Sachs rear struts at a good price.

Y888: How long did the Sachs last? I've had Bilstein on all four corners for about 10 months.

I got the car with 120k and they were squeaking a lot so i guess 60k mls since they were red with sachs logo and not genuine oem.
My bilsteins are still good 15k mls and 3 years and still good.
