Hi all,
Gonna treat the 110 to some new shocks as the ones currently fitted are of an unknown quantity, but I'm really undecided on which ones.
Really I want to buy once. Fit and forget. I'm getting tired of buying cheaper and having to do the job twice.
I've narrowed it down to Delphi de carbon or Koni Heavy track. The Konis are about £15.00 more expensive.
Does anyone have any experience of the two?
I'm not to worried about the Konis being adjustable.

haha... I was swaying towards the Konis anyway, it didn't take much. Now if the first comment had been "Konis are awful" I might have re-considered.

I can vouch for the Koni , adj type , better than OME and Bilstien , from my experience of harsh outback conditions in Australia .

Never heard of a bad word against Koni's. Heard of someone who raced to South Africa over 2 weeks without a breakage and that's enough convincing for me

Being made in the same factory makes bugger all difference if the design and specs are different

Im looking forward to seeing the difference they make when I take off my wallowy knackered ones.
At the moment I'm referring to left and right as starboard and port.
