Kartdad - 23/4/10 at 07:46 AM

I am about to purchace a set of shocks fron OPB for the live axel locost I have built a chassis from the book and have a Zetec 1.8 to put in

Am I making the right decision?

Have you spoken with ProComp about ProTech Shocks?

Unsure on your budget, as these I think will be slightly more.

Protech seem to be generally rated over the Gaz dampers.

But the valving on the protech's will be right for a live axle.

As above - i'd recommend Matt at Procomp for your shocks. That way you know they'll be right, and i'm sure Matt will recommend you some springs to suit too.

I'm pretty sure Matt will stick the dampers on his machine before you get them.

Are the OBP Gaz shocks, or are they re-branding them?

My money would be going to Matt.

Many thanks to all

I have had a lengthy conversation with Mat at Procomp and will go that way. Now off to measure up ride height and damper length thank you all again

Good man. You have definitely gone the right way with your suspension. I'm sure you'll be very happy with your choice using Matt.
