Gauges choice Prosport vs ShadowPro
 
Hi, I'm currently looking around for my christmas present and I decided that I'm gonna ask Santa for gauges, but he seems got no clue which one to give me so what's your thought between shadow pro and prosport, I don't want to spend nearly £200 more for defi so I need to decide between this two. Thanks in advance.

I have prosport gauges had them a year and no issues so far, bought them from r-spec who are very helpful

Another vote for prosport, just fitted a set to my car, very happy with them and a good match in Amber colour to the dash.:thumb::thumb:

Did you guys bought them as a set with pod? Are they 52mm or 60mm? Cheapest place to get them from is....? ;)

prosport are nearly half the price of shadow pro, so I think this would be my choice, I'll get white/amber :)

Same gauges out the same factory just labelled different I think motor meter was for the Americans or something like that, not 100% sure tho lol. But they are the same.

I bought an ATI pod off of a member on here and then the gauges fro R-Spec, best place I could find.

Went for 60mm in the centre pod and a 52mm boost gauge on the a pillar.

Thanks guys, so far the cheapest ATI pod I found is for £135 from scoobyparts and I'll defo need that, but still can't decide which gauges though, I found one thread in here where one member ( Jura ) has used Shadow pro gauges and was happy with the quality.

Motor Meter is the UK branding for Propsport, that said most gauges come prosport in the uk depending on what model you go for can be multi meter. We can do 10% off the RRP with SN10 Discount Code remember :)

Think they do shadow 2 gauges now, they look okay.

bro82 09 November 2015 09:33 PM

Thanks Darrell, now it's clear :) I'm really tempted to get shadow pro as said above they doing now 2 series, I'll have to check how much I'll have to pay for three gauges, but from what I see these are about £80+ each plus pod £140 so it will be about £400 ;/
What's the warranty period for prosport's?

I have the shadow gauges they are really good you can set peak and warning with them I'm really happy with them and never had a problem with them

Tbh this function buttons on shadow gauges are putting me off a bit as I don't want to drill the holes in pod to put through wires from the buttons so if I decide to take shadow pro I need to figure out something, can you tell me how you fitted yours Campbell?

Had these for a year now, been faultless :thumb:

I don't have a clock in the dash so I need to buy a pod anyway, but gauges with the needle will be my choice as this digital are not in my taste ;)

I didnt like the the look of buttons on them so I set it all up and just hid them under the pod out of the way I have had prosport gauges before but I find the shadow pro a better looking gauge

bro82 11 November 2015 02:26 AM

I'd like to have an option to check the peak if I want to so with hidden buttons it may be difficult ;)

bro82 11 November 2015 03:21 AM

Just ordered prosport from scoobyworx as with member discount it was the cheapest option, just wondering if they come with wire to daisy chain them or this have to be bought seperate?

Sarg400 11 November 2015 03:23 AM

Yep they sure do :thumb:
