Which way to go on S3 rear suspension?

[MartinC]

Have to replace rusted rear shocks and springs on the Esprit s3 and have looked at the earlier comments and not sure which way to go.  Do I go for the standard shocks and springs or I am I going to be better off with adjustable dampers.. bearing in mind this is protech/spax budget not anything more sophisticated.

Do I need to do anything else whilst the shocks are off?

Any tips on how to get it right first time?

Any advise welcome

Just my tuppence worth but if you were going to fit adjustable dampers on the rear then perhaps fitting alround would be best to get any benefit from them. With a tight budget in mind, the standard dampers would probably suffice.

thanks for reply.  I am fitting the protech to the front so migh go protech to the rear also.

Personally I'd go with the originals if you can get them.

I'm in a similar boat. Does anyone have a source for the original shocks and springs?

sjsportscars have a 'standard' rear damper- do not know if this is a original spec

Does anyone rebuild the old shocks? I'm keen to keep everything original and would go down this road if it were an option.
