Makes not a blind bit of difference, as they have all been NLA for a long time - essentially they are all the same now.

I have Koni Sport adjustable dampers on the front of ROO and standard sedan dampers on the rear...as no LWB specific items were on offer.If there are LWB specific rear dampers, since I too am building an early Countryman, I would be interested in knowing.

Our host doesnt show different shocks but there are different numbers and minispares has different shocks for the saloon and estate but I cant see a difference anywhere in the specs on length, spring rate or valving when I look up the modern numbers I can find.
If you are running saloon shocks with no problem and don't notice a difference though then I guess that will work just fine for me
Thanks muchly
cheers

I know the early estate trumpets were a bit longer….but not dampers
