What are the best brand for rear shocks on an x308, mine are awful and probably haven't been replaced in 5 or so years

OEM equipment Bilsteins, should be able to get them for around $100 bucks a piece.

I went w/ Sensen (front & back) about 3,500 miles ago, they've been excellent thus far. They feel like an in-between for comfort & sport to me.

But if you're only doing the rear I would stick w/ whatever you have in the front.

Wish mine were only $100 each. Think they are closer to $350 each. CATs and sport so....

I've mounted KYB shocks recently, both front and back ; I'm pretty happy with them. Far cheaper than the Bilstein (got them for around $70 each I believe. Had to import them from the US to France, but even with the carriage it was a better deal than the OEM)
