550 YSS rear shocks
Bryanj:
At least it sounds like they will make them for you!
Murf:
Well what a thing but just the sort of thing we get ‘not quite right’ after market parts I guess.
So if you want to get on quickly then it looks like the bushes are the option.
I have been looking for shocks for my 550, DS has the cheap copies which are cheap but from reports don’t last long. CMSNL also have original copies which are around £300+ , they look good but I can’t decide whether they are just the same as the DS ones at a higher price or actual better quality ones. So if someone has bought some and can report on them that would be good. The YSS ones are probably ok shocks but of course don’t look correct if you are trying to keep originality.
The shocks you chose from Hagon looked like a good option so such a shame they haven’t got them quite right. If they have got a 1000 plus wrong bodies in stock I can’t see them changing any time soon either.
Bryanj:
I see nothing wrong with fitting Hagons with shims, ok it is not as originaly designed but it is a sound engineering solution
DomP:
I'll just take them up on the shims offer I think, I can't be bothered with sending the back now. They look good and should be a vast improvement on the leaking originals
Bryanj:
Definately, as they took over Girling i remember selling those and never had a problem with a set we sold
