After having talked to Bilstein, Sachs and other suppliers my offer possible was as described above.
Why black repro dampers from Bilstein? Because for silver they have to buy silver colour + dress the machine.
Just the costs for this in the factory has 4 - 5 digits.

Just three questions:
1. Which pads and discs do you use? Are they worn?
2. When was the last time you changed your brake fluid?

I would check brake fluid as said before.
