Daz, those are nothing like yours. Yours have the special thick wall tubes, uprated beefier insert threads, and the super strength mountings to resist all but nuclear attacks

I usually supply 250lb/in fronts & 120lb/in rears as a starting point, this seems to work quite well.

The full kit is £995.
