Prosport Gauges...Good or Bad?

I want to get the Lotek 3 gauge pod and fill it with Prosport gauges but I've seen mixed reviews..

What do you guys think?

never had a problem with them. Used to have the Halo gauges, then changed to the EVO gauges.

I've heard good things from a buddy who has some Prosport gauges. They look really sharp, and if they work as well as I've heard then I would go for it.

They don't work properly at higher elevations, the sensor/module can't compensate or tell where it is. Something to consider depending on your location.

I have the ProSport digital gauges. They work well and only have had one
LED segment go bad on the water temp gauge. They replaced it, was still in warranty.

I have a DIY on install of LoTek gauge pod. Dash mount.

Good Luck with the install

Thanks for the input fellas! Actually I'm a DIYer and I was looking at doing what Silvere8 did in his group buy.

Actually, this is only regarding the boost gauges and within the last few months have fixed this on all our boost gauges to be able to calibrate them for high altitude.

Interesting, my buddies gave up after two different sending units each.
Down side to living at 4500 ft elevation I suppose.

I have them and their customer service is fantastic. Had an issue were I wired them wrong and toasted the senders, and Prosport still swapped them out even though they new it was my fault not theirs. Great company who will get all my gauge business and recommendations!

Must have been a while ago. It is the Boost gauges themselves that can now be "Zeroed out" for your exact altitude not the sender.

I have the digital ones. They work good but I had a few led segments go out on 3 of the 5 gauges. They offered to replace but I didn't want to pull them out and go a week with out them.
