Not the cheapest but quality & can be rebuilt with a service kit.

Leda Suspension - Motor Sport and High Performance Car Suspension

I have these on my Stealth Wagon. Just tell them what you want.

Are they three way adjustable Mark (bump, rebound & preload I assume?)? What sort of price?

Just edited in price list to my post above. I got a good discount & a special deal on the fitting/geometry etc.

And this is what I just PM'd to jockc79 as there may be others interested.

For comparison just fitting two Subaru OE rears & using my Eibach springs would have been £600ish all in. (Fronts would have been extra)

KYB £450 plus fit & geometry. (non rebuildable)

Basic Teins £550 plus fit & geometry.

Super Street Teins £670 plus fit & geometry.

Leda 2.5" struts & Eibach springs £1500ish plus fit & geometry. A bit outside my budget but quality bit of kit & rebuildable.

However as they are based in my home town I popped in for a chat & by chance they had a set in stock from a cancelled order that would fit my Stealth Wagon.

Beverley,Andy & John couldn't have been more helpful.They answered all my questions & put me at ease with my choice & offered a full "after sales" backup should I need any tweaking or further advice on the set-up.

Then to seal the deal they offered a 30% discount plus FREE fitting (3-4 hours worth) , FREE geometry , FREE dust shields & a set of C spanners.

Which came to £1050 for the lot all done. So £250 ish a corner.

And this is what I ended up with :-

Front Strut 2.5" Adj Height/Adj Damping (Soft 6/24 Hard)
Front Spring 2.5" I.D. 9" x 300lb Eibach

Rear Strut 2.5" Adj Height/Adj Damping (Soft 6/24 Hard)
Rear Spring 2.5" I.D. 10" x 225lb Eibach

The struts are plated with Electroless Nickel to prolong their life.

They already feel firmer than the Eibachs did but not too harsh.So looking good so far & it's only £50 a corner to service/rebuild them once off the car.


Hope that helps.

Tweaked Prodrive settings.
