Re: Shock Absorbers
I'd look no further than Brickwerks, take your pick depending on your budget.

Re: Shock Absorbers
I can recommend Bilstein B4 shocks with AVO -50mm springs (from Brickwerks) - may have to wait for stock.

Re: Shock Absorbers

I have AVO adjustable shocks (had them a while now) with Elbech (40mm) springs (Brickwerks), though if I have any further issues with the AVO's, I will go Bilstein gas, as heard they are very good.
