    Rear uprated dampers

    Right. I will be installing some J&R coilovers on Leighanne's front suspension soon (when I get my car back from APD). They are very harsh especially if the helper springs are removed but good coilovers (and anyway, she loves it hard, or so she says )

    I have the rear dampers for them as well but they both seems totally knackered as they make a lowered car bottom out loads and make a lot of banging noises...so need a refurb.

    Instead of paying out cash to have them redone, perhaps just getting new uprated ones is a better option?

    Are there any recommendations? And where can we buy separate decent rear uprated dampers? Anyone got any special offers on ;)

    Wobba.
