A few threads already on here talking of shock absorbers, but I see in Classic & Sports Car that a company called 'Gaz Shocks' are now doing them for Alpines and Tigers.
Have never heard of them, any thoughts anybody to their build quality? Zinc plated bodies?
Only bought this month's copy to read on Mr Bean's £910k (insurance paid) for the resto of his crashed McLaren F1

Very good product,have been using these for several years now and find them of good quality,have the adjustable feature which many owners may like to help set up their car for road or tack day usage.
Also they can be rebuilt if and when they need rebuilding.

Very good, I have a set on the rear of my Vitesse, easy to adjust. I would use these if I did not have a set of Koni fitted.
