Damper advice (FSDs/Eibach Pro/Bilstein B6)?

My tolly (2004 130pd) has 103k mls on it now and correspondingly nackered suspension. OEM stuff seems pretty exorbitant where ever it comes from, so I'm thinking Eibach Pro springs with one of the following dampers:

• Bilstein B6 (£460)
• Koni FSD (£450)
• Eibach Pro dampers (£380)

Given the shocking state of Kent's roads Im erring towards the Konis, my only concern is how they'd cope with towing given their fancy design. Does anyone have any experience of any of these?

Thanks
Hugh

The best match for the Pro springs would be the Pro dampers and I don't think you'll have any problems with them fitted while towing a trailor.

Thanks Damian, my concern about towing was specifically towards the FSDs with their trick valve/frequency thing. Can you supply the Eibach Pros?
