Default CR dampers

Considering some new dampers soon for mine... Id like a fit and forget upgrade over the OE dampers and ones that would suit the eibach springs so I'm thinking the CR dampers...

Does anyone know where to get these at a decent price? Also is there any guru that knows the CR damper spec differences to the 2007 dampers spec?

I put new CR springs and shocks on mine 2 years ago. I got the shocks from the US and Tegiwa got me the springs. They can probably get the shocks too, but you'll have to ask them.

Get Bilstien PSS (not PSS9) or H&R coilovers. Exactly what you're looking for!

I have eibach springs on the car already with the milage creeping up I want to replace the dampers with complimentary upgraded units, not coilovers as they need alot of setting up trial and error etc etc not interested in all that fuss and hard work so a fit and forget option. Plus for a decent set it's very expensive plus the setting up costs...

Konis vs CR showa units?? Much in it technically....

I don't want the ride overly harsh, cars already stiff as has all braces (except roll cage)

The koni's offer adjustable damping (rebound only I think) and tbh I have mine set mid way and have never touched them. Ride is composed but not choppy.

Oh didn't know that... Interesting ratty, adjustable damping is a nice option to have... No to much fuss just can set it to suit...

My bike has adjustable suspension it's just so much of a ball ache to get right... But damping rate only sounds good for the car... Hmmm...

Any idea how much Full set of konis are??

I'm confused. One minute you say you don't want adjustment, and now you do?

If you do, then Bilstein PSS9/Ohlins/KWv3 will be fine, although they are pretty expensive.
