Hopefully Chris!
Been up there this morning, had a chat with them. They should be ready in 2 weeks time
Decided that the remote reservoirs was probably a tad over the top, so just going for the tarmac rally spec ones instead
So looking forward to it! And remarkably cheap as well! Dampers came to £89 each rear and £169 each front. Springs to be added later.

Hi John
I think I was there at the same time as you. If you have insert type struts, this saves a lot of machining and works out very cost effective.
It does mean you can't fiddle with the ride height though.

Hi Pete, you may well have been, although I didn't see you car. I was parked just outside the sales entrance in the black 1.4 ( 
) Octavia. Not worried about ride height adjustment, it fine as it is, so I'm just using the uprated H&R cup springs that I already have and just replacing the damper units. I have coilovers at the front at the moment anyway and the rear will require "remodelling" to fit coilovers there, so its just uprated springs and dampers for now. They reckon about 2 weeks for the dampers to be made up and about 8 weeks for the new springs.
Must say they seem very helpful, and they appear to really know what they are talking about. Most impressed, especially after the cowboys I have dealt with in the past.
