Sounds like you may be due. Hope you can get a good price for them. OEM is extraordinarily expensive, but in the US they are available from Boge/Sachs for about half the price and a full lifetime warranty.

Some have converted to regular shocks, but you also have to change the springs. I think the Nivomats are extremly good shocks, so I sugest you see whether you can obtain them aftermarket. I recently replaced them along with the front struts (and added IPD anti-sway bars) and the ride is excellent.
