When one of my Girling (if memory serves me correctly) rear dampers broke
due to fatigue in the lower mounting, I replaced them with a set of KYB
dampers. These dampers were noticeably softer than the well used
Girlings, and in my opinion totally unsuitable for a fast road car.
As much as I hate throwing away things [1], I must admit that I after a
short period just discarded the KYBs, and got a set of red Konis. And never
looked back.
The Konis benefit from being stiffened up a couple of clicks, propably
more if you have non-standard harder springs.
