Bog standard oem is as good as anything, probably better than most.

Hola Hughesy, been running oem since day one with out any problems, you are probably right, but with so much choice in the after sales market out there these days thought i'd ask around. Tracks and normal country roads pretty lumpy here in Spain / Portugal and across the water in Morocco.

Buenos tardis Treworgy 90. Had Armstrongs fitted to a 2 door 80's RR, many moons ago, found the casing rusted through quickly, but that could have been due to the amount of salt they chuck on Scotlands roads in winter. Don't have that problem here in Spain ! Just dust n sand every where !!!!!
