After my car standing idle for around 20 years it’s time to give it some love. I currently have red and blue zimmerides from Robin Hood, what’s a good replacement? Can anyone remember the specs of the rubbish I have now?

Many thanks

I plan to buy some Protech Dampers for my car some time soon. I'll be going to Procomp Motorsport...

They do look good!

Another vote for protech. I got mine direct from them. They're very helpful if you give them a call.

Another vote for protech. Job to beat quality for the price and service. Used by Westfield / Chesil and MK.

Another protech supporter here I bought my kit second hand and it had a leaky damper, Protech refurbed it and checked over the other three for a very reasonable price.

I could possibly be in the marked for a set of protechs valved for an inboard striker. I'm going to send my current old Gaz golds to Procomp to get checked, I'm expecting they will want to bin them!!!

After such a long time, I'd be replacing all hoses and fluids, brake and fuel especially.

The whole car is stripped back, new bushes, petrol lines, brake pipes, parts being re powder coated. The whole hog. Nothing is being overlooked.
