Which shock absorbers are the best for my '72 3500? Koni are out of the question unless we can arrange an enormous group purchase, and that isn't going to happen. Spax tell me they only make shocks for the rear (a shame because Spax have a TÜV seal, which would make my life easier when I get as far as applying for my 'Historic' licence plates here in Germany). AVO list front and rear on their website, they're black these days too which I prefer to bright colours (Spax are bright yellow), having previously been available only in bright red. AVO are gas (not oil) filled, and are adjustable on-the-car with approx. 20 'clicks' from 'stiff' to 'soft'. Surprisingly they're cheaper than the blue 'original' Leyland items available from one of the more helpful P6 parts suppliers. I'll be fitting new ball joints and poly bushes all round. I'd like a comfortable but firm and responsive ride. What do other forum users recommend?
Furthermore, who can custom-make me a set of uprated and shorter springs? For sensible money. Any helpful advice most welcome.
