Hi David, great work you have done recording all this here, feel like I owe you a beer for all the effort and providing the resource. I am just going through the same issues with my 2016 Mk5 here in NZ.

120,000km and two leaking rear shocks. Ford NZ have quoted $3,939.66 plus GST. So $4,500 for two shock absorbers. The second hand network clearly knows as well because they came back with a price of $1875+GST for a set, with no guarantee that I wont be back here in 12 months time when if go for my next WoF.

Just making sure I am not going to fall foul of our stupid vehicle compliance rules by changing out the self leveling shocks before going ahead with the purchase of the GE Parts kit. My mechanic who will be doing the install and does my WoF has asked if disconnecting the self levelers causes any issues with the cars stability control systems, or any of those other stupidly complicated systems that modern vehicles have?

Has anyone that deleted the self leveling shocks had any issues?

Also keen to hear if the is anyone in NZ that has gone down this route.
