actually looking at them again they dont seem that bad but most people seem to avoid gaz coilovers. i would go for it if they are going for a good price mate.

paul thats rust that on them. it happens to all coilovers eventually and they will just have to stay like that. jst need to make sure that the collar rings havent seized up and that they can be freely adjusted

how can i tell?

if you can rotate the rings with the c spanner then they sould be fine as it means that the height can still be adjusted. they honestly dont look bad at all and i have defo saw alot worst. how long have they been on the car for?

paul you need to remember that h+r's ast's etc sell more 2nd hand than these do new.

I really dont mind mine especially as they can go silly low

They'd probably be more suited to track TBH. Get them if you just want the looks but they do nothing for the handling, IMO.

like i said paul if you are getting them for a good price then go for it as they arent that bad especially since i think these ones offer adjustable dampening

im definitly buying them. Gettin them cheap. As i says the car wont be tracked or anything. How does the GAZ coilys feel compared to standard?

people say they handle terrible etc, but its all to do with how you drive and how stiff you have them.

With everything set solid expect to understeer/oversteer when pushing it, im running about 1/4 stiffness and its a nice ride and feels pretty glued

Bumpy and twitchy especially on back roads. Took me weeks of messing around trying to get a decent setting. I would never buy them again, not for a clio anyway. Not sure if the Gaz golds are any better but if these are cheap then its maybe worth a try.

Paul...Noooo!


if i dont like them or arent happy ill sell them again and not make a big loss. win win really. For what i use the car for i dont see the problem. It rarely gets driven hard

Birchdown are setting them up for me so im hoping that will make a difference

I doubt it. Think theres something fundamentally wrong with the clio Gaz kits. Most people who have tried them will agree, they might seem ok until you try H+R's or even sportlines.

I have them, Olly-Mango has them , Makavelli had them, Christopher has them and if you spend a good few hours adjusting then takin it for a drive and adjusting again they can be set up pretty well IMO

Olly had mine for like 4 hours the other day and its improved my opinion of them its just all about taking your time.

had mine for nearly a year and no complaints, surprise surprise if you spend twice as much you can get a set of coilovers that are arguably better!!! shock horror :p
