If they're not konis, then they're for the metal skip. I say koni as yours are painted red but some models from other proper brand dampers can be refurbed too.

If they still damp as they should then keep them for a rainy day, my old ones were ok when I replaced them just put them on a shelf in the garage until some one needed them.

they work, but a bit "bouncy" if you know what i mean. No harm stashing them in the garage i suppose.

16" dampers are green not red, those are just 14" items.
Bin fodder.

Bin then, thanks for that.
Any way of telling if the fronts are 16"?

We can get 16" ones, but I think they are just shy of a grand a set.

why, is it a problem? Have noticed other peoples seem to have vanished.
Never given it much thought really.
