    Just a heads up about Front Shocks P2

    this is just a heads up about the front p2 shocks, as some of you will know im replacing mikes front suspension, i tried ordering 3 lots of oe equivalent on ebay to find i had 3 refunds and be told there all out of stock including the suppliers, then i ordered from france again to get refunded, i then rang 4 local big suppliers to get the same answer no stock at the suppliers, i checked with kyb and they no longer make them either, i then luckily got the rtoc shop koni's which are the second last set in the uk

    all im saying is theres very little stock anywhere and in future if people want new they may need to approach some big company and maybe offer up another group buy, as once whats let over has gone thats it i think

    Re: Just a heads up about Front Shocks P2

    Sounds like alot of the stuff now, odd bargain on ebay and stock drying up. Recently the oe Purlux oil filters stocked by the likes of GSF, and now new phase 2 shocks. Cars are now 22 years+ and have thought to myself its pretty amazing to be able to buy new parts old stock for as long as we have

    Mine wasn't a sarcastic remark btw, just wondered if they were still available from Renault? Do they differ much from "normal" five dampers? But as you say, you would have thought the pattern parts would be available for longer.

    Renault don't show any stock for the GT Turbo UK or France and the normal R5 ones are different.

    Just took another look, they say they have 7 in stock, but stock is running low, plus I have noticed a lot of catalogues have started removing the cars from their lists.

    this is true the strange thing is they still make and list the earlier ones which is odd if you ask me
