Hello Traveller
My 240 originally had Nivomat shocks, but when they gave out i could not afford new one's and went for the plain and simple ordinary ones.
Since then her bottom has continued to sag lower and lower, i have been carrying chunky loads in her, mostly pallets that i cut up and burn in my stove, six pallets in the back and two or three on the roofrack.
The new heavy duty springs are designed for 240's /260's that do not have Nivomats fitted and i can confirm that they are the dogs wotsits.
If i load her up with pallets now she hardly sits down, her ride quality unladen is everso slightly harsher, but driving on Guernsey roads( which are ****e and only good for Army tank exercises ) you can hardly notice the difference, i can fully recommend them
