Shocks

What are the choices people have used for their shocks on a Haynes roadster. Will mostly be a road car. Any options from budget to higher end cost.
Cheers people.

Fitted Protech's and new springs to my Westfield SEIW and was pleased with the results

Two of the Spax's they replaced fell to bits when I removed them

I have a pair of calibrated Protech shock in the for sale section

High cost (but high quality) would be Protech configured to your specific car. Mid range would be Protech off the shelf. Budget option would be second hand Protech.

I picked up four shock absorbers and springs as a very budget option, second hand from another builder that had upgraded to Protech. I'm using them for the build and probably IVA, then it will be one of my first upgrades so no doubt they'll go to their next owner, and so on.

I have gone down the protech route and placed my order.
Thanks for the offer of the second hand ones, but I wanted a full set straight away.
