    Dampers

    Just realised my Konis are 12 years old so what options are there?

    KW V3's. Adjust the settings to your desire and bingo. Other than that it's a shocker and spring combo to which you may or not be happy with the final ride and cost expenditure.

            Re valved Konis or Bilsteins.

            If I was doing it again I would just buy a set of KWs, its just not worth the hassle of getting shocks re valved and matched to springs etc. However you like projects so a set of custom springs and custom valved shocks for your car weight and use?

                Not easy adjust correctly V3.

                  Unfortunately I don't have a spare £1100, so I think I'm just going to have to go for another set of Konis on the front, after damaging a seal on one while checking if it was working well...

                    I might be interested in them dependant on price, drop me a PM with what sort of figure you have in mind.

                    Obviously Andy C still has dibs on them if he wants.
