Forget what Demon Tweeks think, many of us are running Bilstein dampers 19-106120 rear and 22-105813 front.Thanks Ian. According to Demon Tweaks the B4 shocks don’t fit an A2?

Yes, Demon Tweeks have no knowledge of A2's. Use the seller on ebay I linked, they were the cheapest I could find.Forget what Demon Tweeks think, many of us are running Bilstein dampers 19-106120 rear and 22-105813 front.

Nearly 20 year old so definitely needs refresh no?Not necessarily. Unless your springs are obviously corroded or broken, you don't need to replace them. If your current springs are sound, then likely the top mounts are too.
Absolutely if You’re going all the trouble of taking the top mounts and springs off anyway to do the shocks you just want to do the whole lot that’s false economy is it not ...it’s quite labour intensive unlike the rear ., I’ve done this on two of our 3 off a2 front and rear and using bilstein b4 and b3 springs meyle top mounts and drop links and febi buffers (bumpstops) and belows for top of struts .Nearly 20 year old so definitely needs refresh no?

How many miles has yours done steve ..n/s 5 times wow ? ..more often than not ours has been same side i’ve put it down to the terrible roads out in the sticks where we live... near side always gets a hammering with potholes generally caused by the huge tractors that now use our lanes No longer a little Grey Fergie ...?The springs at least have more often than not been replaced already. If they're nearly 20 years old they will likely have a significant layer of rust.
It's difficult to predict longevity with springs. My own A2 has a comprehensive service history, back to new. The nearside front spring has been replaced 5 times, but the offside front spring only once (at 19 years old).
76k, Paul. I renewed the shocks, wishbones (with their rubber bushes) and drop links last service, as well as replacing that O/S broken spring. The spring actually broke as I set off to get the suspension sorted! It runs like it's on rails now.How many miles has yours done steve
I ordered my from Autodoc, they do kits and individual sets.Thanks guys, is there a link for a complete set up anywhere? Or are there links for the rears too? Thanks again
They don’t do a full kit by any chance?
