Gazshocks - Anybody know about these?

[tacoma]

While pricing some parts yeswterday in my local 'chav' centre i asked about new shocks and was told that gazshocks.com would be a good place to have a look for high quality, inexpensive shocks.
I checked the site and they list a wide range of TVR models, albeit they mispelt Chimaera!

Before i part with hard earned, have any of you more experienced people heard of or have any experience of these?

Don't RT Racing in Sheffield use and supply them. They fitted some to a customer of mine's Cerbera.

Give Richard a call, might be cheaper too.

I've got a full set of these on, much MUCH better than the original suspension in terms of ride comfort and handling (changed at around 40k miles), they are adjustable for height + damping. I'm still playing with the damping settings to get them perfect for road driving but very impressed already.

Towerview Race Services supplied mine, they weren't cheap though, in fact I think Nitron's aren't much more so a bit of research into those maybe worthwhile?

Actually even with the recent price increase, Gaz shocks are under £400 a set including VAT, springs are £94 a set inc VAT.

Sorry if you overpaid!

AVOs are cheaper and better.

I've now had both and the Gaz shocks are much more controllable, for not a lot more money.

I think what I've done then is compared price of my Gaz shocks + springs with price of Nitron shocks only.

I see what you mean, mind you I thought the Nitron kits were just under the grand before VAT, so they are more than double the price of Avo/Gaz
