Check the dampers aren't leaking, springs are straight (not literally) with no cracks etc, and coils are free to move. A spanner would also be handy although they can be had quite cheaply on the bay of E. Other than that I suppose for £50 your not gonna get a top of the range brand new set. My TA Technics ones were pretty good though, and the JOM ones are apparently quite good for the money.  :smiley:

Great work with the Coke!  :cool:

Not entirely sure, but think the rubber boot is just a dirt shield for the seal on the damper.
