TBH i think thats a very fair price for a brand new set of dampers. The vauxhall lads used to sent of their struts to GAZ and get them converted to coilies, that cost about 500 for a pair. Anyone can supply GAZ with a set of standard dampers and they will build a set of coilies to suit. Using the standard struts they can work out how much to adjust mounting points/brackets etc to suit the lowering

If they were a one off, which i would guess they are, they would have been nearer to £1000. The guy seems to think they will be better than other available makes, butthey are simply GAZ' best guess at what is going to work. If yours is actually going to be a test mule for them i would expect better results

Hmm, those don't look too good to me. No brackets on the bottom to hold your brake lines etc. And more importantly, it looks like there's only one adjustment for the ride height, so when you change the ride height you won't be getting full travel of the damper, compromising the ride - though maybe I've missed something ?
