The only modification you have to make is to drill out the damper mounting bushes from M8 to M10 - This can be done with a SHARP 10mm drill bit and a decent drill.  Let the ally bush cool after 30 seconds of drilling and repeat until you have drilled right through the bush.

Matt please tell me is this solution works?
I'm asking because i find in Poland this part and in description is that
this dampers have strenght 900N (Myele) and 1200N (Swag).
Is this enaugh to use this in Beta?
 

[MattNoVAT]

Yes,  I have these fitted to my S2/FL and have had no issues.

There were approximately 26 other forum members that used these when I did the "group buy" so maybe others who have fitted them can provide some feedback (if they have actually fit them that is)

Yes, I had the dampers fitted while the CV boots were being changed for the MOT. Both old dampers were seized solid. The new ones made a noticable difference to drivability. They had to be packed out with washers as the bushings are narrower that on the originals.

I had drilled them out as above, but it took ages with my DIY drill & admittedly cheap drill bits.
