What make are they? I think Procomp used to have a habit of doing that and if they are procomp they have a life time guarantee so just exchange them.

If not paddocks have a few deals according to the adverts in the mags.

It is a procomp. Unfortunatly I cant remember who I bought them off. Will try and ring direct tomorrow. Was thinking of upgrading to OME if I can find a decent supplier  :P

What sort of price and stroke are they?

EDIT

Ok forgot the price, just found frog islands website, but it doesn't say what stroke/travel they are?

Mmmmm, I was looking inot a 2"+ kit a while back and they were lets just say, 'very' competitive - less than a hundred quid a corner for springs and dampers, dunno about dampers by themselves though.............

EDIT:

Just read your 'edit'........

Give 'em a bell - nice bunch of lads, very helpfull and no real 'hard-sell' going on, know their stuff as well, never had any problems with 'em............

Neil had this happen more than once they asked him to send the top bit that snapped and sent him new replacements.

I've had two do exactly that in almost as many weeks, it's partly Procomps fault because of the way the loop is made, BUT the poly bushed put far more stress on the loops than a rubber bush, so i'm going back to rubber, i suspect that i will have a lot less breakages that way!!!
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!
