Laughing boy (Cue) above thinks one damper is £1400.....!!! If C(ue)arlsberg made Sachs dampers they'd probably the most expensive dampers in the world....Still LMFAO....
They are £432 from Renault Sport in Dieppe.....
I'm fairly confident that Renault UK do not mark them up by nearly 400%.....
Sachs? What a waste of time. Biggest marketing whoo ha ever.....

I personally like this bit of false marketing from the official ZF Sachs site... obviously it's all lies Tim(e) ?
Of course the Official line from BMW F1 team is that they run Sachs Dampers on their race cars... maybe they should employ you as damping technition as they obviously don't know that their choice of partners is only based on marketing.....
:quiet:
"Many of the best teams in Formula 1 already rely on ZF Sachs as a competent partner. From 2007 on the technology company based in Schweinfurt becomes "Official Supplier" of the BMW Sauber F1 Team, which is already equipped with progressive rotational damping technology since the 2006 season."
Walter Erke is obviously doing his job well to be promoting a substandard product that not only fools most of the F1 teams, but also Renaultsport.
Im sooo glad you've dispelled the marketing ploy with your factual reason for stating that it's all a "waste of time. Biggest marketing whoo ha ever."
oh wait, where's the fact on that answer.... oh dear me it's all based on the bollox you've either read about on here on some other internet site or from your extensive motorsport experience.... perhaps you could enlighten us all as to how many damper comibinations you've gone through in you're driving career.
OR wait are you basing your OPINIONS on nothing more than other's posts.... maybe you even run H&R coilovers... have you compared them to Sachs units on the same car - how many miles did you cover? did you take the car on the same road...
Pray tell, did you even find that the sachs units needed refurbing early... perhaps you could tell all us uninformed trophy owners, how many miles will are Dampers last? Are the even servicable or is that all or is that a marketing ploy.. maybe race derived dampers should be throw away item... At least using your facts the £300+ I was quoted for just refurbs only last month means i may as well just buy some cheap (by comparision) brand new replacements.
lmao, i could go on but i've wasted enough of my time on someone who can't produce ONE of their own facts.
