Bit of damper porn
gaz_gaz - 1/10/15 at 04:31 PM

Got the call from Pat @ Quantum today to let me know the dampers for my build where ready for collection.

Quantum Two Zero double adjustable..

over the moon with these, the quality is unreal..







This is my third set of Quantum dampers having used them on my MNR and Radical,
Anyone thinking of upgrading won't go far wrong with these..

Looking good....remind me what you are building now? I can't keep up....

gaz_gaz - 1/10/15 at 05:34 PM

Decided to plod on with the Arion + CBR Jeff.
Got it running at the weekend so getting there slowly but surely!!

Just had a quick look on there site,prices start at just over £300 each.

Gaz can you pm me a price for these please. I've been looking at the quantum a for a while now!
Quality items indeed,but then again it's the most crucial part of the car!

You're best to give Pat a call but around £1150 for a set of single adjustable and £2000 for the doubles pictured above. Both prices plus tax.

Dan I'll message you now.

2k for4 shoxs, in some fancy colours, and you call that porn?

ill, stick with a 1980's pic of Cilla black, thanks

Mr Whippy - 2/10/15 at 01:04 AM

2k!

that's just mental, my landys dampers are £7 each brand new and that comes with rubber bushes too

Folks are comparing apples with earth-movers. You can't compare hand built custom dampers with mass produced stuff. £2k is way beyond my budget (obviously!) and they wouldn't improve my driving by £2,000, but I do appreciate the work that goes into such items.
I've never been a fan of Cilla Black.

jeffw - 2/10/15 at 05:17 AM

Actually for a racing shock £2K is at the low end....

These are £2.5K each

Good man, looking forward to seeing it out and about.

Used to use these on our race cars, brilliant bit of kit. If you are racing and serious £500 a corner seemed a bargain even back then. nice to see quality British engineering still going.

daniel mason - 2/10/15 at 07:05 AM

I quite agree!
There would be little point spending £2k on suspension if your cars only worth £1500 but on a race car where hundredths of seconds count it's a good upgrade!
Wonder what the top hillclimbers would give for a few hundredths?

gaz_gaz - 2/10/15 at 09:40 AM

The price is comparable to similar spec Nitrons, Ohlins, Motron ect.
I prefer the packaging of the QRS dampers with the adjusters stacked on the eyelet.
Also no remote reservoirs to worry about mounting...

Each to there own though, I like a bit of bling, And with no idea I need all the gear i can get!

PS... Young Cilla was smoking, Had to google it being a newborn of the 80's..

daniel mason - 2/10/15 at 10:25 AM

You must have only just dipped into the 80's!
Some of us have seen you remember.

gaz_gaz - 2/10/15 at 10:54 AM

Haha. I'm in there by a few years mate.
1983 but my paper round was uphill both ways so I look old.
