    Best bang for your buck with the Veccy is Boge, which are $155 each for the front, and $119 each for the rear.

    That's either the Asian made B2/B4 Bilstein, which are rubbish, or if it's the German made B6/B8 then that price will be each... Although the later still seems a bit cheap for Pedders.
    [EDIT] Sorry, just saw that was for the rears... That price from Pedders probably is the proper Bilstein.

    At a wild stab I'd say the genuine Opel ones will be Boge, but don't quote me on that, and they'll be very different to the aftermarket Boge.

    OE front shocks on my 2003 CDXi are ZF Sachs. I assume the rears are too, but I haven't looked.
