I have just had a Control Technique done and need new shocks.
The originals are 20 odd years old.

I don't know if I should just get GAZ, Proteck or perhaps Nitron?

It's on a Stylus. Has anyone had experience of the current offerings.
I live in France but returning to UK next week, so I can bring them back. But some are made to order, so not available off the shelf.

Cheers everyone.

I was thinking that Protech are probably the best option. They only cost a little bit more than the GAZ/AVO units and should be correct for my car.
Just wondering if anyone tried Nitron, Penske, Ohlins and thought the extra cash (double?) was worth it.

But the ideal for a small light Kitcar does seem to be Protech.

I sent an email to Siltech as they own Stylus and have been working on improving the suspension. So will see what they have. I know they also use the Protech's on the Westfield upgrades.

Cheers for you reply.

Thanks for the advice and recommendations.
I have placed an order for the Protech's. The price and delivery costs are favourable, just got to see the customs fees come the actual delivery time.

Cheers
