Shocks again....

[saulk]

I know there's a few post on this and i've read most of them but i'm still confused on which shock kit to get.

The car goes for it's 12k service in a couple of weeks so i'm going to have the new shocks done aswell.

I just can't make up my mind between Racing Reds, Protechs and Gaz.

Has anyone driven /owned cars with the different options? I won't really be doing trackdays (maybe 1 or 2) mainly just road use.

Or would I be better biting the bullet and buying Nitrons/Ohlin etc or is that just OTT for road use?


Thanks

Just having Gaz Golds fitted at Automedon, mid range good price good perfomance.

Yeh they are well priced.

I just need to do mine as my car is really skittish at speed. PaulV drove mine on Monday and I drove his 'S' and the handling is sooo different.

I think maybe they're all skittish at speed!!!

All I can say about Nitrons is that they give you the option to play around with settings, whether on road or track. I had them fitted when I bought the car so no idea about level of improvement.

I fitted Eagle F1s recently and this did improve the feel up front. I think tyres and geometry probably have as much to do with skittishness as shocks.

Cheers Flat6,

It's going for a geometry setup at the weekend anyway.
