I am getting used to mine now.
for me the issue was one of perception, as I had not driven a Bristol previously

I will probably do the front over the winter

The old units - not sure of make - approx 13" closed, 21" open, so the new ones very similar but allow slightly more axle drop. Will report back after I have a few miles on it how much improvement there is in the ride.
