Recent email from Canley mentioned Mini Cooper shocks. Any experience? Might be worth a go.

Hi, I have a 1969 Vitesse MkII based kit car and Canley advise that, during its life, it's had a GT6 conversion with shock absorbers. From the 'exploded' diagram on this forum, the part number for the shock absorbers appears to be GSA 280, GSA 280S, GSA 280K or GSA 280G. The ride is very harsh over bumpy roads and Canley think that the shock absorbers need replacing. They told me to try Koni and to avoid another certain brand (probably best not to mention on the forum). Koni importers advised that they haven't supplied these since the 1990's due to a lack of demand. The car has been lowered using a 1" block if that is relevant. Can anyone on the forum recommend a solution? Can you get these shocks reconditioned? Can the GT6 conversion be reversed, if so, what parts are needed? Thanks for all suggestions.
