Aftermarket Brand - Spheres. Which one is the best? (or less worse)

Renanvti

Hello friends

I was looking at some brands of spheres to replace or guarantee replacement for some time. I came across some brands of spheres that I don't have here in Brazil (but they seem to be easily found in Europe)

Which of these brands do you recommend or can you say are recommendable to use? Is there any "quality hierarchy" between them?

Febi Bilstein
Suplex
Monroe
Lizarte
Swag
Spidan
Quinton Hazell (QH)
TRW (hardest to find from what I've seen)
IFHS (most common)

Thank you!

Hi! All of them are "bad", I mean their membrane is more or less the same and their resistance over time is weak in all of cases.
The only ones that guarantee a real longlife are the original ellipticals for C5, wich equipe a "multi-layer" membrane really resistant. You could get'em from a Citroën dealer (very expensives) or from an old car.

Also you can contact our mate @Navras for a kit, but you should afford the shipment from Spain to your country.

Yo nunca he usado esferas de otras marcas, sólo originales.
No creo que haya grandes diferencias de duración entre las esferas de esas marcas.
Todas esas marcas son de membrana sencilla y su duración es limitada.
Desde que aprendí a diferenciar las multicapa de Citroën ya no he usado otras.
Y ahora con la recarga, prácticamente se pueden hacer a la carta.
