I think that was a good deal as they were probably £300+ each with the springs new from Leda.
I had a set of rears that I think Ronnie bought off me.

However, if YOU don't know what they are worth and if they are any good, sure you shouldn't have a winky smiley?! Regardless of what you paid for them, assuming you got a good deal must be based on knowing their value.

If they are from the old stock that has not been made for quite a few years now, then depending on how they have been stored in that time will depend on if they are any use or not.

as above springs look different heights too, you sure there a matched pair, i.e valve rating, obviously springs are cheap to change.

if you did get them for 150 quid it would still work out cheap if you got them re conditioned

Entry level club race or trackday dampers, about as good as you can get before you have to spend proper money . Very harsh adjustment ,anything more than about the 1st 6 clicks and they go rock hard, feels like you have square wheels .Annoyingly take a 65mm I.D spring , not commonly available secondhand ,( iirc) .Leda now back up and running in Derbyshire if they need checking

Are the "new Leda" any good. I spoke to them last year about a set, and they sounded like they had no clue at all.
