If going to Stoneleigh kitcar show then you will probably get a good deal on shocks. I was tempted to get them last year but had other stuff to buy!

If there's enough interest it would be easy to arrange another group buy of Protechs again like this one i did....

Prices would have changed a bit now i would guess, but not by huge amounts.

do a bit of search on here and you will find you can ditch the 1" extension to a 13"-9" and use a 14"-9.5"
this can save you a few quid and open the choice of makes and suppliers

The Protech shocks on my Indy were a bit damaged but are likely to be repairable by Protech for far less than the cost of a new pair.
If you'd like to have a look have a word with HandyAndy - I left them at his when he put the new shockers on for me and I dont think he has any use for them.
