The brand names I came across for original suppliers are Stabilus, Lesjofors (two dots above the first 'o'), Triscan, Quinton Hazell, Delphi and Febi Bilstein, and I've only heard of the last two.

Lots available on eBay from the likes of Meyle and Magneti Marelli as well as 'other' brands, but MJs opinion is probably the best.

Part number by the way is 4D0823359F.

UPDATE: Forgot to add the specs for them if looking at other manufacturers for them. Length - 530mm, Housing diameter - 18mm, Piston rod diameter - 8mm, Eject force - 245N, Stroke - 215mm
