    Acquired a set of Leda adjustable suspension as a part of a deal against some other bits

    Tried to find a way to fit it to my Lupo but it appears like too much of a headache so will give it a miss

    Do not really need it so thinking of advertising for sale but am totally unsure of the value?

    Apparently very good set up and very rare now

    It is fixed height damping adjustable kit with 2 lots of springs, original ones and brand new set bit lower then what they used to run on Slick50

    Shocks have also recently been regassed so work perfectly

    Any pointers appreciated:)

    I still think Leda have still got it but seem to have taken a back seat in advertising only up the road from me

    they had a bit of a wobble a number of years back as far as i can remember
    but seem to have have survived that ok

    live on their good reputation now rather than advertising as much as they did you do still see to odd one

    might have known mike would be all over them

    They made me a adjustable front anti roll bar for my mk1 cortina sorted it right out, was 25mm thick and with the right castor the steering centered itself even with a steering box!

    i had some ledas made for my old ibiza racer. ran them, didnt think they were that good really, not much better than spax rsx. few yrs later had them completely revalved by a different company and they were transformed. so i would have to say they are ok as base units, but nothing special.

    the thing with old dampers is that they may not even work.......at least ledas can be rebuilt
