If you post up your VIN we'll be able to help with the part numbers as there are several depending on model.

Welcome taximan.
Are the eurocarparts options just different manufacturers, or different design/fitment?
Note: it would be worth checking gsfcarparts too. Often you can find a better quality brand for similar price (with discount code) by shopping around between the two of them.
Avoid vetech (not known for longevity).

Ditto what Iain has said, try and get a branded one - Eurocarparts don't have a good reputation here - parts I've had from them previously were substandard or dead on arrival.

I got some TRW ones from GSF for the Xantia, used the 45% code they usually email at weekends so was £30ish for the pair. They've lasted the longest so far, had 2 cheap pairs last less than 6k each.

I'd imagine C5 ones are the usual S/Z shaped ones

It was TRW ones from GSF that I fitted to my C5 recently (with Lemforder track rod end from eurocarparts).

Yes, that's the VIN
Here's the link to GSF - there's usually a money off code when you go there (currently 30% off showing on my browser).
