Shock Absorbers ??
« on: November 10, 2012, 10:26:35 AM »
 :) :) Looking for some advice, I am going to change the shockers on my 1987 90" would I be better with Pro comp es9000 or Britpart cellular dynamic ?  the only difference at a quick glance is the britpart ones have poly bushes as opposed to the pro comp which have standard and if you change them to poly bush you negate the warranty apparently.   Ta Duncan

Avoid the Britpart items like the plague, had them fitted all round, all failed with 18 months and less than 10k miles!

 :D  :D Looks according to the feedback I will get the pro comp shockers as there is a slight preference, LOL.

From previous experience both not great  and poor quality too . I would go for Terrafirma springs and shocks but it's down to  personal preference.

I would avoid both as well. Not sure what is available but komi, decarbon, bilstein and old man emu are all far better makes
