Loving the car, spent too much time working on it and not enough driving though...mind you been out in the TR8 a lot so its an ill wind etc. The shocks work fine but...the nearside one the gaiter is shot to ribbons so I'm (as an amateur) thinking I'll get another set...ah...yes...They do seem to be available if you're prepared to pay off the national debt of Panama. I would like to keep it pretty much standard. But in the event that this is not possible what is involved in changing to a standard type shock clearly other parts would be required in such a change.
Also, are there any makes that are preferable to others all prices are to be included here as I doubt any will breach the £600 for Nivomats!
Picture of afore-mentioned TR8 included for the elderly:
