I'm probably gonna have to say no, as I have a horrible feeling I may be doing a head gasket soon!

AS to being original we can have them made in black but you can not see tham anyway on the front as they are inside the strut.

Dai, I WILL have a set, just I can't say when at the moment. As people who've had a ride in Kar will say, the shocks have gone. AFAIK, jan/feb time will be ok for me from current predictions.

You know what its like, I don't want to f*** you over short term

Thats ok Chris I have only put you down as a ? maybe.
We will be looking at about mid feb if I put the order in early jan.

Just answer the question about how the dampers are adjustable. The are not height adjustable but bump and rebound adjustable.

A damper transfers fluid from one chamber to another. To do this there are two valves between the chambers. One is a flow ( bump ) and the other is the return ( rebound ). What happens is when you compress a damper the fluid pushes through the valve moving to the other chamber. IF you make the restrictive hole smaller it becomes harder to compress the damper and iuf made bigger it it needs less force to compress.
The rebound is where you try and pull the damper out ( this is the important part that stop's the spings bouncing up and down) the fluid flows through the return valve. The same applies to this but obviosly one a pulling force. The rebound should take more force for movment than the bump.

If anyone has missed the price we are looking about £100 each for the front and £130 for the rears as always.

So £330 for the complete package? How about a few notes off if you buy them as a set...maybe a round £300?

Let me guess, the £100ea for the fronts IS with a few notes off...

The price for the fronts is what I expect they will cost me!
I'm looking here to confirm the ppl realy do want them and it is worth having them made.
I do understand that for most of us that kind of money does not come easy. If we can get enough interest it will be one big leap forward for performance 300's.
I am glad to say that the interest is there but we do need some more names.

If you are interested and think you MAYBE alble to invest in a pair put your name forward as a maybe.At least then I will know you are interested.

Sure I'm interested, but I have not yet any kind of knownledge if I will have money or not, as I'm not sure what job I will have next month if any, same thing with bushings

Still no luck with lottery

It is 100 each, so whole setup to front is 200, or was it 220

Well then rears will cost little more over that...

£100ea for the front
£130pr for the rears.
£330 for the complete set.

I'm guessing Dai knows of something available off the shelf which fits the back

cheers
