Craig, you are both right and wrong. Keep in mind that Mark was
referring to a BJ8, not a 100.
Peter @ World Wide did my original shocks for both my 100M and BJ8.
After buying a '60 BN7 that had the tube shocks, I was impressed with
the ride & handling, so I switched to the Bilsteins on the BJ8. The
tube shocks are much better in both ride & handling and definitely
worth the money on the BJ8!
The 100M does not jump around like the BJ8 did, even after Peter
rebuilt the shocks, so I see no need to change from the originals on
the 100.
