I misunderstood earlier then... I thought it was chat about Extreme4x4 rather than Devon.

You are correct I was trying to contact extreme 4x4........

However if they don't pick up the phone, don't complain when you lose a sale

If you have issues getting through to Devon 4x4, my Stepbrother is service manager down there now, so let me know...

Never had any issues speaking to Devon 4x4

But for the last 7 years I've been running Raw4x4 Nitro Max. 50k miles and when they go I will look at Raw 4x4 again - without doubt the best shocks I have ever used.

Is there a UK stocking for these not seeing them on super pro's web site regards Stephen

There's an Italian site listing them, which points you to superpro uk site as a reseller, but as you say, nothing on there.

http://raw4x4europe.com/nitromax_en.htm

Perhaps worth a call to superpro? See if they pick the phone up :D

SuperPro can get them if you require - but it's not stock they hold

SuperPro Australia is part of Fulcrum Suspensions

E mailed extreme 4x4 last night First sentence being would be nice if you picked up the phone...

Lo and behold I got a reply this morning, no apology but they did confirm there shocks are rebuildable and they stock spares 

More food for thought

I do like the look of these also they look to have spherical fitment as appose to pin and I did track down a review that was very positive  regards Stephen

Well I reckon I've come to a decision.....

Going to build up with a spare set of pro comps..

Then lash out on a set of Fox remote reservoir shocks

I trust this meets with your approval lol regards Stephen

Well, at this rate, your car is going to be all my fault. Every part of it! :SVAgoaway:
