Leda Suspension

[Porktastic]

Thinking of using Leda coilovers for my 1990 C4 911. Have been given conflicting reports on them - really high quality vs complete cr&p.

Does anyone have any experience/thoughts etc on these?

I plan to use the car primarily on the road.

Thanks for any info guys

Don't know about the stuff for Porsche but i was completely underwhelmed with the Ledas I had for a Griffith once.

For a road car I wouldn't use them. I have them on my e30 M3 which is mainly a track day and for ocassional road use. They are the full blown coilover jobs and work fantastically well on track. You can dial them in to your style and they work really well. However, for road use they are a little harsh and noisy because all the rubber bits and bobs are removed. Being oil filled they do ocassionally leak, but at £25 for a re-build it's hardly going to break the bank and I don't know of any other makes that offer servicing. They really are a track orientated damper so I think you may be dissapointed with them solely for road use.

leda's damper technology is a little bit past it also.

I think it's a case of being a tried and tested formula that works pretty well. They do supply gas filled shocks now if you want to get away from the oil jobbies. I think the great thing about their stuff is that, it's totally tuneable, you can have them revalved to your settings and have them serviced and they are not too expensive.

I'm not sure leda are really worth the extra money over the new spax gas units.
