Standard shocks are quite noisy if you arent used to it. BOT will advise but driving over grates/drain covers and the lick they go with a right old bang. Its been covered on these pages before with some people saying they dont etc but it was certainly the case in 2003 when I first got a ride in a VX220 and has been the case with 100 odd VX220s we have bought and sold/driven including 9 of my own cars. Aftermarket dampers tend not to transmit noise in the same way as the original Bilsteins but rarely ride as well so its a bit of a compromise. Of course it is likely that the shocks are past their best we see this on the majority of cars with original shocks now regardless of mileage.
I would highly recommend Gaz Monos as a good OEM replacement. A very good damper with good noise characteristics and no jarring ride. They are significantly cheaper than Nitrons/Quantums. I wouldnt recommend the Golds unless you are really on a budget in which case refurb of the OEM dampers would be best.

Or just very cold damper oil Doors can be adjusted on the latch pin to hold better.

Could also be windows rattling in the frame, mine 'rides' so much better with earphones in.

Full geo, the previous owner had slammed it to the floor and I'm sure on a track it would have been OK but on the road it was awful. Next job is a smaller wheel combo and Nitrons. It has the Gaz units on at the moment and I'm not a huge fan of them but they will do for now.What exactly did you have done?
