My preferred brands would be IFHS, Monroe, Suplex, or even Eurorepar from Citroen dealers.
AEP in Glasgow used to stock IFHS ones, but I think may have now stopped.
Most of the online retailers supply Citroen spheres. Do you need new spheres, or the original ones re-gassing?

I would avoid Amtex brand, as the dampers seem to be too stiff, causing a bumpy, jiggly, ride.

I was once advised against Lizarte ones, but now think they may be the manufacturer for the above brands.

Id also avoid gsf as supplier as many i had from them were dead on supply...

I'm sure aep still do xm spheres. Their web site had been undergoing a revamp recently which is why sphere availability were vague. .. but calling them resulted in full range of xamtias spheres still available. No doubt the same with xm..
