I've changed the front pair of dampers on my MY96 UK turbo. Is it worth changing the back pair now, as the replacements on the front do feel a bit more solid (not much though) than the good one that I took off? The back ones don't yet leak, but since the change, the car feels much better at the front, but seems to "wallow" a bit at the back.
I don't want to spend £100 for no gain, as there are other things I want first...
(The new ones have a 19mmtop nut and the old ones have 17mm, if that means anything)

Its really upto you if you want new backs..Im the other way round new backs(one was leaking),original fronts(my96)and my car feels fine to me.
Edit due to getting front to back the wrong way round.

I think I'll live with it a bit longer then and see what happens after Xmas.
Plenty more bits that I want on the car, before having to do repairs...
