Anyone have any opinion on these?
Tony Thompson comfort (via Sue) are[ ?300 inc vat so not much difference.
Worth the extra?
Cheers

Vince,
I opted for the Tony Thompson Koni ?limited drop,? as I have the CV driveshaft conversion and didn?t like the messiness of most homemade droop limiters. These Konis appear well-made, work perfectly, and are easily damper-adjustable from the cockpit.
A little pricey, but worth it, in my opinion.
Cheers!

I?ve been using the Spax ones for the last 10yrs or so. Very happy with them - except for the ?day long? adjustment process on my FHC but I don?t think any of them would be much easier. Only downside is droop compatibility with cv driveshafts, something I?m going to have to deal with as soon as my last set of rotoflexes give up

According to TTR.
All of the rear dampers they supply are limited droop..

Thanks Chris. Do they have the alloy spacer? Looks like it from the image.

Thanks Stuart. The only time I've used Spax was decades ago and they were pretty harsh them. But, as I said, decades ago! I assume that as my car has DoNut / single CVs it could still benefit from droop limiters?
Which is a posh name for limited travel?

Another option and available from Sue. May as well spin a coin!
