These seem a good buy.

I think other members have gone for these.
I would have fitted these, for towing, but the caravan may be sold :'(

vx self levelling shocks for both saloon and estate elites are £150 a pair on trade club, although differant part numbers obviously.

The non vx kits mentioned above will not work with the elites automatic levelling system, but are usefull for non self levelling models apparently.

As we are talking elite rear suspension i would recommend vx sl items on tc.(esp. as nobody else makes them) Card link below.
