i got mine from leda suspension in braintree essex, i have had them for bout 7 years, and my front shockers were change for the MOT bout 8 years ago.

tbh its a wierd feeling, when i corner fast or take a roundabout fast it sort of ducks and dives round it, feeling very loose. like being on a boat tbh, but not actually rolling.

does anyone know of any other front inserts that would fit in the s12 strut??

just buy some kyb front shocks.. your dampers are nackered. Mine are also nackered on the front. It feels all floaty

I will be getting kybs and welding on threaded tubes for coilovers like Silvia Engineering Did and many others since

Sounds like some slightly knackered bushes or ball joints as well as tired shocks.

I have some spare front legs that you could try though Umpkin.
