shocks - buy new or refurb?

AVO have a selection of coil overs that would suit

I replaced all my shocks with Gaz items from Gerry, and the handling is transformed. It also feels better over pot-holes and speed-bumps.

Steve,

I can really recommend Dave at Dampertech (GAZ). He's within easy reach of you too (in a village near to J1 on the M18)
Dave was really helpful getting a pair of older Leda struts refurbed for me. He supplies Hawk too, so knows the type of car.
I think a new pair of GAZ front would match up ok with the existing rears, otherwise you'd wanted to go more expensive on all four corners?

Thanks Guys. Nice to get some feedback. I'll give it some thought and let you know which way I went. Steve

I'm thinking of sending mine in to get the valving checked as I heard there was a batch supplied via Hawk that had the wrong (too hard) valving. can anybody remember any of the details of this, or should i send them off to Dave @ Dampertech and see what he thinks appropriate?
