Techspeed I believe have been using these for years and is known as the nipple job, well worth getting.

And I had an image of some nice colour coded hoses, thanks, a bit clearer now ;-)

The French/Japanese Cup cars used a gas unit which falls somewhere between the standard and Trophy 160 one in terms of stiffness. They give a firmer ride and better roll control but your fillings stay put!
It's a good idea to see if you can get the front/rear flow restrictors too as they control pitch on braking. Basically itsa washer with a smaller than standard hole in it, unfortunately I don't know the dimensions off the top of my head (and I'm not going to drain the system just to measure one - sorry!)

Thanks Alan :o) Just what I wanted to know.

I might be interested in getting a set, assuming that Drew hasn't purchased all the remaining units! LOL

Hmm, 400+ quid... time to rob a bank, methinks ;o)

>>time to rob a bank, methinks

I'm up for this if you need a hand - or a getaway driver!
Kingsley

LOL! Maybe, if you can find a BMW to ram-raid in! ;o) ;o) ;o)
