Chris
i chose gaz due to the fact the protechs are alloy bodied. i just dont like the thought of stress and fatigue on the alloy that makes them up. plus
gaz has a rock solid reputation and for that reason i trust the company more for any aftersales
incidentally i bought mine from mac#1 after talking to the guys there and finding they agreed with me and have tested both makes on the circuit

interesting.

I agree. Protech are very good people to work with. I too order my dampers with rod ends and an oddball spring. He was more than happy to ship to the
US as well.
Still, if I had an MK kit, I'd likely just buy from MK...

Ally bodied shocks have been around for donkeys years in lots of high stress environments such as circuit racing, rallying etc without issue, so
unless they are especially poorly designed (the Protechs look fine to me), you're not going to have fatigue problems on something like a damper
body
