Defenatly even AEP they are just as competative and good as GSF units..

Front to rears, yes there WILL be different pressures from front to back.

As already stated front/rear are different, also the valve/damper sizes are diffenrent too !
Also as yours is a 2.1 TD I presume it will have the two extra Hydractive sphere too which may need replacing if there 'Tired' !
This LINK should help you to decipher what sphere volume/pressure/damper type you should be fitting as a replacement !

I hope it maybe of help :D

2.1TD's weren't hydractive as standard, Dex for instance was a Desire (SX)

So that means that the Pdf/file link isn't 100% correct as there's no mention of a 2.1TD Non-Hydractive model in the listing :roll:

Well its the same list as featured on the 'Old-Guy's Xantia' site which 'GSF' is even titled in THAT Pdf/file :!:
