With regret, the company has ceased trading and cannot therefore accept any further orders.

Efforts are being made to find a way to recommence business and a further announcement will be made as soon as possible.

If you have an queries, please call 0207 247 1174.

Rainbird will doubtless have the specifications..... He will hopefully come to some agreement elsewhere.

This won't affect spring orders, as LEDA don't actually make their own springs on site, they are sub-contracted out, and we will just deal direct now. Might even make them a bit cheaper .

Obviously it will mean that I can no-longer offer my Nurburgring spec suspension set-up though .

All might not be lost in that regard, I'll keep you posted . I already have an order I am trying to full-fill, so I'll see what comes of that .

Because they're fixed damping, which means no adjustment between wet and dry settings .
