I'm needing to buy a pair of front shocks... budget probably dictates AVO, Gaz or Pro-tech. Maybe Bilsteins at a stretch.
Is there a noticeable difference in quality / performance between them?
Cheers
protech are nicest IMO
my GAZ are shite, damper rods rusted which caused them to wee oil everywhere so i had them serviced with new rods at my cost and 2 of them are leaking agen all in less than 1000 miles
I get the impression that you're not getting on with your Gaz units then Tom?
hmm, the racing trucks all use Gaz, i'd have thought they'd be pretty good to have a deal like that. maybe good for a race car then, maybe not for road... i don't know what mine are. they're red, but they don't say anything on them
Mr Procomp said to me that Protec were the best, with GAZ the next closest in terms of quality. he didn't have a lot of positive comments to say
about AVO shox...
did you speak to Gaz re the rustyness? I have found them to be incredibly good at customer service...
Protec for me
Another vote for Protech
Like these double adjustables I just got
I'm feeling the love for Protech... wonder if I should just hold on until Stoneleigh and see if they're doing any deals!
I bought gaz, mine leak oil as well. I would go for protech not much more, seem lighter and seem better.

What about Nitrons,i've got them on my car easy to set up and look ace !!!
If I give you the open and closed lengths can you get some double adjustables and then sell them to me later in the year Scootz
What are you fitting them to ? I have Protechs on my Phoenix and they are very nice, as is the customer support.

Ouch!
Protech's (and Matt to Dyno them for you)
Go double adjustable if you fancy splashing out a bit...
I dislike Gaz's - If you get to Stoneleigh before you buy any, then just turn the adjuster knob on the two brands and you will immediately go for
the protech's!
I got GAZ's...
Now I am getting worried
Mine have been on for 3 years, and are fine.
Only difference is mine are 2.25" instead of 1.9" ones. They only just fit th Viento.
Dont know if that makes any difference.
Cheers
