OzTec shocks would appear to be made for them by a Brazilian company called COFAP.

Sorry, don't know anything more about them.

i just found this bit of info:

The OZTEC range of big bore long travel 4wd shock absorbers has been researched, developed and tested in Australia using a state of the art computerised dynometer. The bump and rebound piston valving inside the shock absorber has been custom tuned to maximize the handling, stability and safety of the vehicle. They are manufactured to OZTEC’s specifications by “Cofap” 1st class suspension components.

• 60mm body
• 35mm piston with multi stage valving
• Hard chrome 16mm piston rod
• Low friction double lip seal with gas retainer
• Low pressure nitrogen gas

OZTEC shocks are covered by a lifetime warrenty, which covers defects and premature failures to the original purchaser of the product.



Life time warrenty ... not bad!

I like these warantees So often they take lifetime as the life of the product ie when it breaks its life is over as is the guarantee.

just incase anyone was wondering the OzTech shocks are fantastic on road. car handles .. well like a car and not a boat anymore. . havnt gone off road yet.. i have a feeling they are just a tad too stiff. they are heavy duty though.
