Merlin Motorsport sold me my Spax adjustables, great service as they had to be cistom made for the coil overs at the rear.

For non-adjustables go with KYB.

KYBs on the front and Spax adjustables on the rear of the v8 and KYBs all round on Esther's 7 with uprated springs and poly bushes and it drives like a dream [;)]
S+S supplied everything,I think they are agents for KYBs.

Considering the fact you are in the UK I would look into GAZ. They are adjustible on the car with more setting for rebound/compression than spax. Price seems to be comprable with Spax also.

KYB all around [:D]

It handles well... I love driving it because it takes the corners so well. Maybe it will be out of the shop soon. [V]

Hi Steve speak to Rick at S+S as they stock KYB's and I think they are agents for them.
