If that is the case then it may be a good time to upgrade

Thanks guys . . . I didn't realise there was an issue with ordering - thats no bloody good. I'll speak to the dealer tommoz and see what the waiting time is, and check Simpsons/Bartletts too, cheers Ben.

Good point about the rear dampers - well worth a check, from memory they aren't that old but I'll check the paperwork. No leakage was noted by the tester.

Yes, great time to upgrade - love those Bilsteins, where are they from? Do they stiffen the ride too much though? I looked at the H&R ones Simpsons are punting for about £400 - are they worthwhile?

The rear dampers don't need to have oil leaks to be worm out Rick

My original 12 year old ones are bone dry but one of them doesn't rebound at all and the other one is so slow it's not worth waiting for

BTW they have only done 70K (UK pothole) miles to be like that

Re: Billys ride height adjustable springs... they are part of my PSS10 kit ... and no they don't over stiffen the ride as they are fully adjustable from 0 = soft to 10 = hard so you can choose your rebound rate

This is what they looked like when I bought them New 4 years ago. They are a little bit used now but in perfect condition and may be available FOR SALE soon
