The bloke sold it to me saying they had G-Max on it and it turned out to be these Peter maiden Things, they seem ok don't roll much i was just wondering what they're like compared to other manufactures, and if they're any good.

They used to do a lot of Opel/Vauxhall tuning back in the late 80's/early 90s from a place in Kingsbury near Tamworth. Had a lot of stuff for my Manta from them.

Always associated PMC with chavvy bolt-ons and not a lot else. Not sure that their own-brand shocks would be any good, but how hard can it be to make a shock? It's probably just Koni gear painted a different colour.
