Thanks - they said they were not Boge direct but separately sourced - so I assume made for Boge but not by them.

Await your info.

Well interestingly, I have just been to my local friendly dealer and was brousing through thier KYB trade catalogue.....

They had a rear spring for Omegas with self leveling.

The KYB part number was RJ6227 at 35+vat each

How available these are I dont know but it is listed in the KYB ccatalouge....although its not obvious!

My local dealer called his KYB supplier, they confirmed they are special order and still listed and the price.

This is good news I feel for Elite owners!

Since the garage changed my springs last year my car sits 25mm low at the back and consequently 25mm high at the front. I've just been under and they are KYB - albeit they are fitted upside down. ::)

They've ordered in some more for this Thursday and some heavy duty ones from both KYB.

They were originally ordered from the reg no - should I switch makes or try the heavy duty ones?  :-?

The guide was for a saloon

Estate is different - you wont remove the shock at the bottom without tearing the rubber, need to release it from the top
