Ahem, check my website .

These are made to my spec, "similar" to LEDAs, but BETTER, as they have the high speed valving in .

WELL worth the money.

I'm not sure what you mean by the 2/3 years ago statement, but of course there is more than one spec, but it starts to get silly for a road car.

You can have remote reservoir 2 or 3 way adjustment, but you're looking at a lot more money as well as it being a mission to set up due to there being several thousand different adjustment combinations .

The fronts are £650 a pair in adjustable platform spec with Eibach springs .

The fixed ones are the same price, as they still use the 2.5" Eibach springs, but on a fixed platform .

You need to find what spring and damping rates they were built to, as they're likely to be completely wrong for the road....
