I see you now have some dampers Baz, so which ones did you go for in the end?

Nice one Baz, if they're still the same as they've always been they'll only be adjustable for rebound damping and nothing else. and you're not the only who wants a modern engine in your Midas :)

The first question is "Do you want height adjustment?"

Not really needed as long as you have the right springs, however I really don't know what the right springs are, so having height-adjustment is preferable, that rules out the G999 Spax, but doesn't rule out other Spax adjustables.

All the info you need has already been offered, you just need to read it and then act on the advice given
