    Rear Suspension advice needed

    Stanley the Stag passed the MOT again this year but I was advised that one of the rear shock absorcers had a light misting of fluid on the exterior surface, so I'm looking at options on what shocks I can fit in place - should I fit 'standard' as supplied by the likes of Rimmers / Paddocks or what makes can people suggest that are good quality and likely to last?

    I fitted new standard ones and the quality wasn't very good although I have had no problems they just seemed very 'cheap'.

    Again price has to do a lot with it so buy the best you can afford, lots of info on here recently about them.

      i fitted KYB to my Stag a couple of years ago and am happy with them, i must admit i stayed away from the standard ones on offer as i too thought they were too cheap.

        Have had standard ones from SOC spares, good quality and no problems over the last 4 years.

          I had KYB on my last stag and the ride was much improved but I wouldn't fit them again as they raised the rear by about 40 mm and the car looked 'wrong'.

            Rob,

            I've got KYB's at the moment which replaced a perfectly good set of Spax adjustables - long story!

            i've got a new set of adjustable Spax sitting in my garage waiting to fit so the KYB's having done 1,000 miles will be for sale, complete set.

            Nothing wrong with them, they give a very "settled" ride but I prefer the Spax and having the ability to adjust them.

            If you're interested pm me

            Cheers

            Mike

                  I only want to fit good quality parts in the hope they will give good service and last, but that's a staggering (no pun intended!) price difference and it would be hard to justify fitting the Konis, so when you get what you pays for - what would I get (apart from a bigger hole in my bank balance).

                    I contacted Koni direct and they said that the discontinued Stag shocks due to lack of demand. They went on to say that only Rimmers have been prepared to place a worthwhile order, so they make them 50 units at a time. If you want Konis then you have to go to Rimmers.

                        That's a lot of nonsense.
                        I have no difficulty buying them anywhere else but England.
