Can anyone tell me which cars used Delphi shocks and which ones used KYB? The ride on my car always seemed a little harsh, And I read various stories that the KYB fitted cars had a harsher ride. Can I fit Delphi shocks if it turns out I have KYB ones fitted? Would aftermarket ones such as Eibach or Koni give a smoother ride?

You can fit any strut as long as it'll fit the R75/ZT platform.

I have BMW E46 coilovers that fit perfectly with some subtle modification.

Personally i have used Koni struts and they are very good but im not sure if they make anything for the R75.
