UK based suspension companies?

[jonnyboy]

Anyone know of any? I'm looking into having some developed for the megane 225 but they all seem to be based in Germany!

Jonny, try Leda....they developed the kit for my 182. You will need to send them your OE suspension and spend a day there for fitting. You should get 20% as yours will no doubt be the first but it will still be c£1000 for a fast road kit. Hope that helps mate.

Bilstein R&D centre is in the UK, i can send you the contact details, but sit down before i tell the the price!!!

Spax, IIRC their factory is in Bicester, near Oxford

 

[Gary G]

Yep you're right Lunner, I've been there for developement on a previous car. They will require you to leave the car with them for a couple of days and will build, dyno, fit and road test the kit for free! (well it was for me anyways) The guys down there are cool and know their stuff also.

Leda in Braintree, definitely. Gaz are nearby in Basildon, but I don't know if they're into a lot of development work. Leda have a good reputation for turning their hand to any suspension job, and I've never ever heard a bad word about them.

if you look about there are a number of company's who specialise in one off suspension builds, but they are not cheap!

They are over-expensive and very prone to leaking from what i've heard unless things have improved recently.
I believe lots had them on scoobynet but got fed up with them rattling and leaking meaning very frequent overhauls and that is on road cars.

I was positively warned off them when buying suspension for the rally car so got Billies.

They have the reputation of "leaky Leda's"

Have the same rep on PassionFord, tho to be fair a few commented on recent improvements.
