If its rears you want I did a KYB conversion on mine and a few customers cars and have never had a complaint! Just remember that the stud for the spring mount is part expired now so you would need to make your own out of a standard stud if you change the springs at the same time, the top rubber spring seats and washers are now part expired too. I literally had the last a few weeks back, so be careful when you strip it down.

I got the studs and nuts from FRF via GCP a little while ago

I did manage to heat up the old ones to remove nut and they cleaned up reasonably well

I think Jim ( on forum ) may jave also got them from Brookhouse the other day

Ditto to Griston64’s suggestion for Bilstein B4’s

Got front and rear as the link indicated a couple of months ago, fitted rears and ride quality is very good, still got fronts to fit in refurbished front struts, when I get time……/

Also the suggestion to source new top fixing stud and nut is worthwhile, mine were rusted solid.

Cheers
Steve

Don’t cut it Jim, if you do you will struggle with fitting. Do you want a pair of original nuts? I have a brand new pair I bought for a customers car but for some reason didn’t fit.
