I fitted a new set of LE500 shock absorbers, sourced from MGFnTFbitz.
I also replaced the springs, but fitted a reconditioned set of original springs. The result is a more comfortable ride, but still maintains some of the sporty stiffness of the original handling. This was the setup that was recommended to me by Darren Hardy at Bitz.
The springs were an original set that were shot blasted and powder coated. They have sets in several colours available.
The springs are easy enough to swap over onto the shock absorbers, just get the order right for the spacers and bushes etc.
Suggest you buy or borrow an impact gun to undo the top nut if you replace them yourself, an easy job if the nuts undo ok. Also a good idea to replace all nuts and bolts with new OEM spec ones.
