Hi Rob,

Postage would be £10 by courier. If you're in no hurry for your plates then yes we can ship them together. sadly in order to get these prices it has to be a bulk purchase, hence the set spring rates.

Kind regards

John

Cool, Well see how quickly these get snapped up as they are very good prices.

TT

Which shocks fitted 3GE's modd'ed suspension brackets as i recall someone mentioning a problem with one of the brands?

Also What is the normal price?

Hi James,

Kind regards

John

Thanks Rob ;)

Kind regards

John

This is a super deal, big saving there.

Could you do it again in 6 months time, I may have saved up enough by then.:D :D

Blown my build fund on wishbones and other stuff!!!

Do they do dampers for a VWT25, want to go lower like yer do but not too giddy:D

I don't know Mark, give Kevin at Protech a call, he's very helpful.

Kind regards

John

Quite possibly, this seems to be popular so we will bear it in mind.

Kind regards

John

So there is a preferance for Protech I assume!! Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference?

J

Protech are alloy bodied, http://www.protechshocks.co.uk/ Gaz ones are plated steel, http://www.gaz-shocks.co.uk/choose.html, as to the internals, you would need to speak to the manufacturers themselves.

Kind regards

John

Thanks John,

Any difference in post to N.Ireland or Norn Iron as they say here.

J

I'd need to check, some couriers charge extra.

Kind regards

John

Hi J

Postage to Northern Ireland will be £19.

Kind regards

John

John, I am going to need to take my name off of the list as I currently don't need the shocks and there is a lot I need to buy to progress with my build, so these will actually slow me down as I wont have the money to buy the other stuff I am after.

I shouldn't but at this price and with VAT going up at the end of year.
John feel free to ship them with my bushes.


And couldn't resist it a quote from my fav film to lighten your day.

Nick the Greek: Dunno. Seems expensive.
Tom: Seems? Well, this seems to be a complete waste of my time. That, my friend, is 900 nicker in any store you're lucky enough to find one in. And you're haggling over 200 pound? What school of finance did you come from Nick? "It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the Sale of the ***** Century!" In fact, f*** it Nick, I think I'll keep it!
Nick the Greek: All right all right, keep your Alans on!
[Peels off notes from his wad]
Nick the Greek: Here's a ton.
Tom, Eddie: J***** Christ!
Eddie: You could choke a dozen donkeys on that! And you're haggling over one hundred pound? What're you doing when you're not buying stereos Nick? Finance revolutions?
Nick the Greek: 100 pound is still 100 pound.
Tom: Not when the price is 200 pound it ain't! And certainly not when you've got Liberia's deficit in your skyrocket. Tighter than a duck's butt you are. Now, lemme feel the fibre of your fabric.

Lock stock, what a quality film!

So, anyone's got the skinny on what's the advantage of Protech over Gaz? Why are they overwhelmingly more popular?

I think personally that when you compare the two side by side the protech do look a very high quality product and at the end of the day they are on show.,although i bought gaz as couldnt get a decent price at the time for protech:(

I have a freind on another forum who worked at GAZ.

He runs AVO's on his car.

That should tell you something.

TT

My own car uses gaz as they were a far bit cheaper than protech at the time

I have driven a roadster with protech shocks and it handled almost identical to my car when on the limits (very well and controlable)

However the protech ones are a different class in terms of build quality compared to gaz! if they were as closely priced as the group buy when i got mine it would have been protech for me too

Cant comment on reliability, havnt had any issues with mine as yet (quick get a piece of wood :D ) but have heard a few instances where the gaz shocks leak

I think Ash g had this problem with one of his shocks before he had even driven the car!

Cheers, mates!

I have spent the last two weeks looking for the best prices on shocks and springs, as this should be all that I need to get a rolling chassis ..... should have just looked on here!!

Just a thought (very cheeky admittedly) but if you end up going back to Protech and ordering way more than you thought initially, they might give you even more discount (purchasing power at its best). ..... just speculating :D

Anyway, prices are fantastic as they stand, so count me in. When would you like paid?

Cheers,

Jonathan
