I think it's one of them pay your money take your chances.

yes looked at them,so you have the terrifirma ones or britpart?

I had the black britparts on the back the cheap ones!
And originals on the front.
Iv replace the lot with super gaz ones yesterday.
The car feels much better, rides less bouncy and a lot of the noises have gone,
The only worry is longevity of the super gaz, paid £100 for the set

I had some before I got silly length shocks lol, lasted 2years before they stopped dampening as such.

Not fender but series. I got some britpart shocks, went to pump them up and down to prime them a bit before fitting, pulled out fine, pushed them and no damping force at all, just fell straight together. Sent them back and they said they were fine

Fitted procomp es2000's in the end

Normally, you feel some resistance and its fine after doing it 3 times but even after something like 20 times there was no resistance going the right way to make a damping force

Just received mine will fit today / tomorrow. They dont seem to offer much in the way of damping on the return (in your hands) like you say but when put upright and pushed down fast on they do. Il report back.

I fitted a set earlier this year and they improved things dramatically, they do seem to be one of the things ****part do well.

I heard quite a few bad things about Terrafirma and Procomp so decided to go with the yellow

I fitted PromComp a couple of years back. April this year did a trip across Morocco and the Sahara and they have stood up well. Ready to go again next year if all works out well. Some people knock them but I have no complains about them at all.

Had them fitted all round on my 90 about 6 weeks ago, springs too.
Far better ride seem good qaulity.
