Hello,
For your information, I am fairly new to mechanics and am trying to learn little by little.
I would like to change my shock absorbers and also the original springs. Mine are not in very good condition

Do you have any advice for this change and/or any references?
I drive normally and am not looking to turn my car into a super sports car. I've already noticed these shock absorbers (

Do they seem like a good fit?
PS: I'm in the south of France

Hi Pierre_Dx. Yes, springs and dampers are normally sold seperately and you'll certainly need a spring compressor to assemble them.
You'll probably buy adjustable dampers which will have 'click-stop' adjusters. The seller should tell you how to set them up and/or you'll also get loadsa advice from this forum
Bon chance...
