If anyone is interested, I have a Sprint that is fitted with these dampers, supplied by TT. In fact, it has all TT running gear, front and rear, and a host of other magnesium bits and pieces, all bought from TT. I shall be removing all that stuff and returning the car to original spec. The parts will then be for sale.

The car was driven round the block, twice, with this stuff, and then parked up. Once round the block is 5 miles. It is as new. If there is any interest, it might enourage me to get cracking and take it off. Send a PM.
