Daft question!

When measuring my existing dampers, do I take the closed length to be the length it would be fully closed with no bump stop?

Sorry for being twp (Welsh for stupid!)

Ceeb, we seem to be going in circles on this one - I'd be concerned now sending over money in case it all stalls again. If you no longer have the time to complete this group buy, would you hand it over to someone else?

Hi Ceeb, appreciate your efforts, but I can't wait any longer on these I'm afraid - I also need to pull out

Hi, sorry for the lack of updates (last minute work trip out of the country) and I appreciate that some have you have had to move on and purchase your bits. The requests for funds and shipping addresses will go out tomorrow evening to those who have not dropped out.

Not sure if protech will still do it but I contacted them directly and asked for the group buy discount. They gave me double adjustable a for £150 each inc vat and I got mine about 2 weeks ago. I got the impression they only did it because I wanted double adjustables.

It's a nightmare trying to do group buys when people want different things. Well done for trying and thanks because I did manage to get mine at a good price :-)

I would contact Protech and explain how the group buy has fallen through due to them not being more proactive to help getting it all sorted. They were obviously really busy at the time, lots of phone calls not answered was my experience.

Maybe if people who still want them just go direct to Keith and explain how they opted for the group buy which fell through and ask for the group buy prices.

Out of interest.. Did you even manage to get a set for yourself?

Mine are all now fitted to the Supercat and corner weight setup, can't wait to get out on track and start playing with the settings, hopefully will see some good results.

Unfortunately I have not yet, got a set of shocks.

I would recommend that people give Keith at protec a ring and see what he can do. This is how I'm planning on moving forward.
