Hello Panch,I have been away for a few days. I will go and pull one off and get the part no.(they were off a friends TR 3a race car).Regards,Michael.
Thanks Michael, that would be great as I'm just about to put new suspension in and I'd pick Bilstein over any of the other brands out there..

Hello,I have had a few sets of koni's on cars/bikes over the years In my opinion they are a poor relation to almost anything else! I have just fitted a set of Bilstein to the front of my TR6 and Tokico ? gas to the rear. Regards,Michael.
Michael, which Bilsteins did you fit please? When I spoke with them they rd me a that they didn't do any shocks for TR6??
Cheers, Panch

Hi John,
Many thanks..
Yes, I've seen that posted on other threads too.. I just like trying different things and not necessarily going with the 'norm', hence my question.. I guess you'd could call me a 'tweaker'.. I don't want to open a can of worms either though, I've seen many heated conversations on threads regarding this subject.. hence being a bit specific with my questioning! Panch

Hi all,
First Post on here, although I've been a 'watcher' for some time, so apologies for it being a few questions! I'm in the middle of doing a full restoration on my '6', well actually Protek are now doing it now for various personal reasons (I've actually started a blog on the build in member's blog area). It's going really well, with much guidance and advice from Bill Bourne (thanks again Bill)... but I've got a few questions regarding front brakes. I've done a fair amount of hunting around and gleaned lots of info on the subject and made a few decisions, but I've still got some questions..
I was going to go with Brembo solid discs, but I'm told they are no longer manufactured? Anyone know where I can get a pair? My next option was Tarox, but they don't list a TR6 set but I'm sure I read somewhere that someone was using them, so does anyone have a part number please if that's the case?
In the absence of the above, I was thinking vented (not drilled) but using standard calipers (Bigg Red are about to start refurbishing the calipers).
So, I'd obviously need to use a spacer for the calipers, which I'm sure Bigg Red would be able to do as part of the refurbishment if I sent them the discs, but does anyone know if this would foul standard steel wheels? I know I could put a spacer on the wheels too, but I don't really want to do that if I can help it.
I don't want to go for 4-pot calipers either as I don't want to mess about with the braking balance between front and rear and I don't think they'd be particularly required for fast road use anyhow, but I do still want something a bit more than 'standard' since I did suffer fade every so often before the car came off the road for the restoration, hence the vented option.. :)
Many thanks!

Front shocks; Gaz,, Spax or Koni what's the verdict?

Brilliant.. thanks Michael..
sorry for the delayed response but the restoration project has been rather all-consuming lately so no time to look on the forum!!
