Citroen XM Forum

Hi Ciaran,

I'm getting on-line ads from MisterAuto.es, and so had a look at what they were offering sphere-wise.

Brands listed on the UK site are Bolk, Monroe, and Febi Bilstein. The first two have been quoted as cheap and cheerful. Don't know about Febi.
Spanish site lists Lizarte as well - these are made in Spain, and also known to be less than wonderful.

Staggeringly low prices.

Reported elsewhere that non-Citroen manufacturers do not get involved with the more durable triple-layer diaphragms, presumably for patent reasons.

Useful info Chris, thank you.
I may stick with AEP then, you know you're getting quality with IFHS, plus as you say, they would have the triple layer diaphragms...

Cheers

I don't think so...

You need to buy genuine Citroen for that!

I will also vouch for AEP. Ordered six IFHS spheres for my Xantia about 18 months ago, arrived two days later in excellent condition. The spheres have been superb since.

Even though IFHS made the original spheres for Citroen?
That's disappointing!
