If you search through the threads you'll see I posted one about this not long back, regarding locost. Protec I think ending up getting the
majority vote.
Speak to Procomp, they know they're stuff regarding this
Cheers

I believe protech use a slighter newer valve design and are ally bodied which is about the only real advantage between the two as I understand it. MK
also supply protech shocks as standard on the deluxe kit i believe

Procomp, has a suspension dyno machine and has analised all of the major manufacturers ones. Contact matt and ask him. He did tell me the other
week, some look the part but are badly valved and are hard to balance the damping. IIRC Gaz came out top

No, why? Who else do you know that has analised most brands of suspension on a dyno???
I always find it best to deal with facts? Do you have a problem with this?

Hi if mackei23b dose want to ask me for any advise on his shocks please feel welcome to do so.
But frankly the best dampers for any car are the ones that are valved correctly and are suitable for the job. I do not have any paticular favorits
that i recomend as a good working damper is a good working damper.
