OBX headers experience
Just had these OBX headers fitted by Redline Estepona. They charged me 16 man hours, which I think is very fair. The car is original and has done 130k, so the RH header was extremely difficult to get...

Re: Need advice on rear shocks???
I also have my old set here in Spain. If anyone wants them, they can have them for the cost of the postage, plus lets say 10 euros for packing.
