yep, friend of mine called them the other day wanting an update on some bits he had ordered but not paid for and was told it looks fucked.
My suspension is either pricelss or worthless now, but I'm guessing the latter 
When I went there last week on wednesday everything seemed pretty normal. Strange eh

btw my biggest concerns are:
a) who will setup my car in future
b) who will service my coilovers in the future
got a feeling it will be GAZ on both accounts, heard lots of stuff about people leaving LEDA for GAZ in the last year.

I have been expecting this for a while. they have lost most of their business to companies such as Gaz. Their chief designer (Dave) left to work for Gaz a while back.
Gaz have launched a range of shocks called Gaz Gold, offer everything that Leda do and more but without the silly pricetag.
Sad news though

Why is that sad news? If Gaz are selling a product which is better and without the silly price tag then I say its a good thing they have gone out of business, ripping people off is something which seriously pisses me off.

they werent ripping people off they were selling a very good product at a good price, it just so happens that another company is doing the same but they arent charging quite as much. Unless you have had experience or have any proof that companies are ripping people off maybe you shouldnt claim they were doing so?
Ledas main problem as I see it is they never branched out to the mainstream, always concentrated on a niche market. The truth is that their designs and development work is used massively in other companies designs. without Leda, companies such as Gaz wouldnt be where they are now.
