Dynamics Coilover (multimatic) who can re-build them? from my Vectra challenge car

hi guys, very sorry if this is in the wrong section, im new here...

i own a Ex Vauxhall Vectra SRi V6 Challenge race car.

need to get the rear shocks rebuilt (well one really but may as well do both so they are matched)

Basically when removing the rear shocks on one of them the actual damper piston came out of the shock body, ive stripped it down and put it back together properly but obviously it now needs re filling with oil and re gassing.

would like it checked over first too, maybe dyno the good shock to then get this one re-filled/gassed the same.

Have been in contact with Multimatic/dynamics direct but each time they tell me they will call back and i never hear from them.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

give Gaz in Essex a call; they claim to do lots of different makes, and are certainly efficient and reasonably-priced at doing their own

Gaz aren't keen and haven't heard of Dynamics before... However they did say they would have a look if i have no luck elsewhere.

Spoken to Multimatic again today (people who actually make the dynamics suspension)

waiting on another call back, fingers crossed with information and pricing of the rebuild...

Was also recommended to call Gary at GM Sustech, anybody had any dealings with them at all?

cheers chris

hey, do you have a direct number to contact you on or who shall i ask for when i call?

i did actually call Nitron a month or so ago, the lady on the phone was abit confused and spoke to someone in the background which then said they had never heard of Dynamics and werent able to offer anything for my shocks.

Cheers
