Best thing to do is give tony a bell mate and he will tell you all and knows more than me about them but iv seen them in the flesh and seen them work on very competitive race cars and also heard first hand from people that have spent 3 times what you want too and then settle with these...Worth a chat mate..
at 2.5k thats not actually alot when your talking remote set ups ohlins or rieger for example wont get you the fronts for that!!!!
Whats the car going to be used for???and what spec hubs etc???

there is a lot more to Rod's car than just the shocks, but if they're good enough for him then i'd expect them to be decent!
