Default Sachs Shock Absorbers - Anyone had any experiences?

Anyone recommend or un-recommend em? Are they a half-decent replacement for standard items?

I know nothing beats a genuine new ford item, but they are few and far between, and would rather them go to the concourse boys. Mines a daily work hack & taxi for the wife n kids, so want it comfy (and dont want em to fail after only a year of service).

Any info much appreciated...

i think they are part of zf now and they supply ford too.

sachs make loads of OEM shockers for a variety of manufacturers so im sure theyll be fine as a normal road shock.
