Hi everyone, just bought 45mm vogtland lowering springs for a 2015 mk3 leon FR it’s a 1.4tsi with solid rear axle and I was going to run stock shocks with the springs, but it’s safe to say they’ve seen better days. So I thought why not splash out for a decent set of shocks as most of the suspension is being replaced anyway… which brings me here, I am looking some advise on shocks as I’ve heard a massive mix of reviews on Bilstein B8s (and basically the whole B collection) and also Koni’s… but I’d love to hear all opinions and experiences with all brands 👍🏻

TIA (photos for reference, left-front)
P.S - anyone know the fronts strut diameter?
