You can use the old one, think of it as just replaceing the shock absorber. Just get rid of the cone and rubber doughnut.

My protech ones are lights look good and dont cost the earth to buy, i have only trial fitted them to the mini but were easy to use and install. A friend of mine replaced his spax ones for the protech ones and loves them, i know of a few people that have also rated there customer service as amazing Drives

Go for Protech but dont buy through Huddersfield - go direct.
I seriously doubt it! |

Dampers aren't there to look good or be cheap, they're there to dampen the spring. I'd prefer something that worked.... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

The thing that put me off protech is that to my knowledge they are still just oil filled which means with a lot of abuse they can overheat and turn useless. Hence why any serious competition cars use gas dampers, (not gaz), but on a road car or drag racer probably no problem.

Good point Topcat but just to reassure - I gave my Protech death on the roads and theyve always been great. One did leak oil recently but Protech very quickly and cheaply sorted it out I seriously doubt it! |
