Gaz Gold "pro" or 2nd hand Nitrons?

assuming they don't sell before I get there...


what would you do???

For second hand dampers of any brand I'd assume they are not usable until they have been rebuilt, so you need to factor in that cost. Also confirm with Nitron that those particular dampers you have in mind can actually be rebuilt, because some very old ones are no longer supported.

Personally I would be very wary of 2nd hand suspension or brakes unless you have facility to inspect & test - particularly if you don't know how that car came to be scrapped ! Tuscans are very sensitive to suspension set-up and I dread to think what a faulty damper would do at high speeds on a NSL country road.

For such a small saving would you choose something that 'might' be OK, or something that comes with a 3 year warranty and individual dynamometer printouts for peace of mind ?

you all talk head sense......rather than wallet sense

which is what I thought too!

Be ringing Derek tomorrow then

Just had Gaz Gold Pros fitted by Taylor TVR.....IIRC they were £599 for the set plus around £160 fitting. They have made the world of difference to my Tuscan. I would never consider second-hand units of any make.

After 4 years of fighting the beast (particularly when the tyres were cold), the car is much more predictable now and far less scary on uneven roads..

Money well spent in my humble opinion.
