Let us know how the B4 feel. I for one tried several brands, from the cheap chinese Ebay one, to Sachs, Monroe and finally genuine. It's also a matter of how smooth are the roads - where I live it's more like pothole territory and hundreds of patches. Overall, I would only put genuine if it was to do it again, given the road surface, but I have to say that once I disassembled the original springs to install the struts, the front end of the car lifted by about 1.5 inch which affected the handling quite a deal. I'm now looking for a replacement spring that sits lower.
