Dunlop Shocks - Any good?

Hi,
The shocks in our 2012 RRS are one the way out.
Dunlop ones seem pretty well priced. Does anyone have experience of fitting them?

Thanks
John

For not a lot more money, Delphi are OEM

Dunlops are fine, but my preference is OEM Thumbs Up

Many thanks for the quick reply.
Is there anywhere in particular you’d recommend to get the Delphi shocks?

I know this seems like a typical lazy question from someone who hasn’t searched. I get it, and have been equally annoyed on other forums. I’m more familiar with BMWs and where to get parts and the best prices. I’ve been searching for somewhere that supplies Delphi shocks but have found anyone who has them yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I fitted new front Dunlop struts to mine yesterday morning. It's an easy job but you need a 15mm flexi head ratchet spanner for the inboard 15mm nut on the top. Kev

Just to update this for anyone searching in the future.
I ended up going with OEM BIW front shocks from site sponsors Advanced Factors. These are exactly what was in the car from the factory for £209.17 each.

The service was really impressive and we had the parts in Dublin after just 2 days. The shocks were fitted along with a replacement compressor. The symptoms previously experienced was that the front was lifting very slowly and it seemed to wallow along the road. Thankfully all seems to work ok like normal after fitting.
