I have been give a price of 635 inc vat and carriage for a set of four 2,1/4" 22 way adjustable damping and adjustable platforms and springs.

How does this compare with the equivalents, any experinces folks?

never used/fitted these but we have recently sourced a set for customers "rs turbo" fiesta - factory are very helpful and the shox were excellent build quality (though dont know how they perform??)
apparently they have made shox for another brand for a number of years (still cant find out who??) so are not new to the manufacturing game!
mail me for info and i'll check up on price
alyn - as performance

I belive thay are the guys who were making the shoks for AVO, I belive they decided to go on their own as they weren't happy on making the shocks to a budget price when they new they could do better. So i think they told avo to go away and sold their revised range direct. Also loosing the LAX Power tag has helped!

I think the guys and the tooling is probably what was based in the AVO factory in jersey that was previously a spax factory too. Hence they do all the kits for classics and lever arm replacement kits.

FASTER MIKE!!

I have been given the price by Tony at Zenith Motor Sport in Swansea 01792 464666. They could probably do a mail order job if you were interested. Give him a ring

Enquired at Dampertech (GAZ shocks) and they said they didn't do any kits for the legacy?

Did you specify them for a legacy or impreza (fit is same, springs will be different).

I know tony has been chasiing this for me for a couple of months, they have literally just gone in to production from the testing stage.

I think they went on sale only last week.

Hi Guys

we are currently developing the GAZ coilover kit for classic Impreza with them and have been running the set up in it's many various versions for nearly 6 months now :cool:

The build quality as mentioned is excellent, adjustability is very good... and we are finally nearly there on damper rates and valving. Should have it cracked before Christmas ;)

If you would like any info please call me .. would be happy to chat. The old Trouser express is loving life on it's set. Certainly prefer them to my old AVO's.. easier to adjust too!:)

Cheers

As I suspected, the ISO 9000 bit gave it away, as Gaz claim they are the ONLY ISO 9000 approved mfg of shocks.

Leda have been ISO9000/9002 approved for over 5 years now. Just thought I would mention it ;-)

well there you go!

TSL looked nothing like Leda last time I saw a picture though.
