Default Shocks

I am probably due for a change in shocks on my 81 and I was wondering what years are the same for shocks? Where is a good place to buy a set without spending a lot of money? Thanks fellas!

On my '81 I've got Spax shoks fitted. They're really nice & give a good ride. Apparently they're comparable with Bilsteins but cost less.
I've never driven anybody else's C3, but I gave an '80 owner a demo of mine & he reckoned that the ride was far better than his, far less choppy & much more comfortable. He's on this forum so might chime in (be honest Andrew, I can take it :lol: ). If they're available to you locally I'd recommend them. If you need to import from here then forget it as the exchange rate will crucify you.
VP&P have a 10% discount on at the moment.
:cheers:
