I've got these but in Yellow.

No instructions came with them so if you've never fitted some before you wouldn't know that the longer ones for the back or the other way around.

Mine haven't split in two years so seem to be okay.

I bought some of those but the black plastic slider that is clamped to the strut broke when I tried to clamp it.

I eventually bought these
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performan ... 4-line-kit as the sliders are metal.

Dont ask if they are any good as the car is still in bits waiting for me to put it all back together!!

You could get Goodridge hoses for the same price, dunno if they're much different but they've been recommended to me a few times.
