Just fitted these today
Brand new struts with Boge turbo gas inserts for the front and all new shoes, springs and cylinders for the back. Rides a lot better and the front tyres now dont rub on the poo shields on full lock any more.

Re: Just fitted these today
Nice to get the front end suspension sorted out and shoes 
What sort of springs are you running and height? and how are you finding the ride?
I'm building up to replacing suspension and perishable items(bushes etc) up front, also wondering where you got the struts for the inserts?
Sorry for all the questions

Re: Just fitted these today
Springs are Eibach Pro -40mm and ride is good. Struts I picked up over a 2 year period, one was original and never been fitted I got off a bloke on ebay for £20 can you believe, and the other was a near perfect one without the innerd's fitted which I picked up from the auto jumble at Tatton Park last year for a fiver!. Just gave it a lick of black hammerite and fitted new Turbo gas inserts to both of them from GSF.

Nice, any chance of some pics! - I have the the same dampers waiting to be fitted! - Care to elaberate on what the drive feels like some more on the -40mm eibach springs? Comfortable but sporty? Crashy?
