He's generous with his advice and knows our cars requirements back to front.
If they require fine-tuning he'll even do that for you.
BOL.

Looking to get some shocks soon, thinking of the gaz ones from rally design. Questions are; can I choose springs 1" longer to give me an extra 1" clearance?
Extra length may give you extra travel which may translate on extra comfort.
Make sure the springs won't bind under compression which they may do if they are to long for the correct damper on your set up.
If you can make the stretch. Go for protech shocks.
Longer springs might bind up. You can adjust the shock collars to get a little more height

Whilst the gaz shocks I bought are 10+years old, mine stared to leak with no road miles. Others have had problems with leaking.
Another one has a small pit of corosion on the stem.
They may be better now.
As above ^^ go for Protechs but speak to Matt at Procomp Motorsports.

Thanks for the advice all

Hi. Just been pointed in direction of this post.
What i offer is the dampers custom built to the specification for the car. Most damper manufacturers will supply dampers with a common valving ratio
in them ( usually 3 -1 ). However on cars such as the type used mostly on this forum that ratio is rarely correct and doesn't take into account
that the front and rear of car requires differing ratios.
Also if running with inboard front suspension as apposed to the more common outboard setup the wheel ratio is hugely different and requires valving
completely different to an outboard setup which is something that not one off the manufacturers takes into account.
If you would like discuss any problems or setup issues feel free to Msg on the FB Page as i very rarely get on here these days.
The results we achieve with the PROCOMP Motorsport Dampers speak for them selves and we are proud to supply companies such as AB Motorsport, Mittell
cars in the RGB championship and many other privateer racers in many of the other kitcar related motorsport championships in the UK USA and Spain.
A quick view of dampers in action.
