Protech are generally okay if you are on a tight budget.
500 excl. vat from Racetech Direct
Clever Trever also lists them, but you will need to call for a price.

I can't compare them to any of the other after market ones, but they do the job.
If you can afford more, then I would recommend you spend more smile

I have seen quite a large variation in price for GGP from different sellers. E bay has some over 100 cheaper or do you go with a well known supplier?

I noticed a saving of 25 in this months Sprint mag, and purchased a set from TVRPower for 625 incl VAT. I would recommend them anytime. wink

I think Track v Road have a special deal on for gaz golds at the moment, Racing Green, did not recommend them when I spoke to them and were pushing AST as the best option

Has anyone got the AST dampers yet?

Would be interesting to hear how they perform.

I have a set of Gaz Gold shock absorbers for sale which were replaced after 1000 miles with Nitrons after I was mistakenly told they were squeaking. Turned out to be the exhaust. Never got round to advertising them.As good as new!
