Hmm... Do they require some certificates for cars as old as these? In GL we have Koni lowering kit and it doesn't say Koni anywhere except the shocks but for example no one has ever asked anything about blocks between the springs and the rear axle etc... At least where I go to MOT my car they aren't so accurate with those. :P And what comes to leaf springs I suppose that they wouldn't even see the diffrence at the MOT if you have custom leafs.

It is just that kits fitted after certain year need that certification, it is possible to say that it had lowering kit installed since new and you just replaced worn parts with new ones and that should do the trick. Can't remember year now, maybe it was around 1990 so I should sucseed with that story when I have MOT ;)

I mailed question about KONI's to few shops in NL that sells KONI and have mentioned in V360Cup pages, maybe if I have luck they will have adjustable yellow KONI's :P

If I can get all this together for next summer, then I will really get new track record at Motopark :) But better look first...

50 mm lowering.. nice

Are the front shocks in all 300's the same? If they are and there is around 50 of us looking for some adjustables, i'd likely be able to coerce koni into a small run as they would be happy to do a run for 100 shocks, but i'll check on that as it may have been 100 pairs, will also get a rough price, i'm gussing around Au$270(160euro) +freight and import costs
as thats what it cost me for a pair of rear adjustables from koni (part number #802351)

Anyway if there is interest, i'll set up a group buy thread tomorrow with some more solid info.
