they should be fine at that rating, i'am on 275 on coilovers on the front and they are very hard 250lbs is still stiffer than the avo springs as theres are 30% uprated from about 165lbs as std.

got email back, they dont have any other shocks that they can get hold of.

so kyb front inserts are available for £84 a set inc delivery from the USA.

^^^Factor in VAT on top of that price if customs nabs them when they get to the UK

[umpkin]

£98.70 if customs puts that on, what price have others paid from the uk of late???

Hm, when i was looking into shock options, the only ones for s12 that i could find were kyb's gr2 gas ones (suposed to be oe replacement), and i opted for the avo performace springs (i just wanted a close to stock setup). Oh and the kyb's are CHEAP in usa (i payed 200$ for the whole set, that should make it about 100 pounds i guess, thou i brought them back my self).
Anywyas if i had to do it again, i would defenately go for the Megan racing coilovers (were not available at the time).
