Bailey Pegasus Shock absorbers or ATC or both

Hi All, just getting all the kit together for my Pegasus Verona. I have spent some time looking at what safety equipment that I need and when funds allow will fit the ALKO ATC as I have read a lot about them with mixed reviews, hoping a MK2 will be launched!

I am surprised that the Pegasus range does not have ATC fitted as standard, I am sure Bailey buy these for a very reduced price as the manufacturing price must be less than £15?

I then realised that the Pegasus range do not have shock absorbers but these can be bought from Bailey. Some reviews outlined these helped reduced swaying when lorries etc passed. I understand there are pros and cons of shock absorbers, but again they are additional extras?

The shock absorbers I think are only £80 per set rather than circa £700 for ATC.

Since I need to pay for Baileys penny pinching exercise which they buy in bulk compared to the cost for both for me to purchase probably circa £800, which is the best return on investment?

Thanks very much 

Derek

Both, shockers for the good effect on everyday travelling and ATC, "just in case" (as mentioned by others)

If a choice between the two go for ATC, shocks only really make the van and contents ride better

Thank you all for your advise, we have ordered a pair of shock absorbers due to cost and ease of fitting. Now saving for ATC!

 

Thanks
