Got mine from there as well. There's a thin gasket that goes on the top which you can reuse from the existing shock if you carefully remove it but I didn't fit it on mine 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Plug on the top just a push fit. Nothing else to adjust but do the final torque of the lower long bolt with the wheels on the ground. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Front OE shocks were BWI not Bilstein. I went with Aerosus at the fronts as I was replacing the whole lot but the shocks were not realy worn so unless they are obviosly not functioning properly and the front end is wallowing about maybe leave alone or just change the bags? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I fitted Bilstein CVDs to both the front and the rear but had to replace new Bilstein rear springs with genuine after they were ripped apart because they were too short for off-road usage. |
