I won't say too much on this but I will never use this company again. Evil or Very Mad

Sorry to hear that, did they complete the work or are you still looking?

I would recommend this company:

Vintage & Classic Shock Absorbers Ltd
Company: Vintage & Classic Shock Absorbers Ltd
Address: 203 Sanderstead Road
South Croydon
Surrey
CR2 0PN
Contact: Graham Brown
Telephone: 020 8651 5347

You may have to join a long waiting list and it's probably better to give them to him at the end of the summer rather than in the spring. Apart from the long wait, I've never heard of anyone who wasn't very pleased with his work.

Peter

I really don't want to say too much as I know this forum has strict rules on what can be said about individual companies but it would be safe to say that the drop links are now scrap, the lever arm dampers I could write a book on what went/is wrong..
