Have got Gaz coilovers on the Hybrid and H&R's on the Williams

I have gaz coilovers on my valver. But I think they're too hard. Although it is decked, and I haven't tried any others so I don't really know.

lol^^^ have nice dents in ur bonnet too??


they used to punch the underside of the bonnet the first bump in the road after fitting em back in the day. they sorted this out yet?

I hate GAZ coilovers, remember when the white TB'd car had them put on by Mehdi and we went for a blast and despite being able to spank me in a straight line it just showed how good stock setup is as round the twisty stuff I wiped the floor with it.

I've only had experience with Leda's and Avo's, but for the money the Avo's win it for me. Driven 2 lives quite a bit over the years and it's a little bumpy at times, nothing bad though and it handles superb, certainly be better on track, just not round some pot holed B roads lol

gaz are poorly designed piece's of s**t, dont fit properly, smash your bonnet, and knock about, i spent a s**t load of time getting mine to sit right and they still wernt perfect.

back on standard suspension.

 

[Tizer]

avos sound good then what about FK ones?

 

[Danny-ACE!]

I have FK's. They are really good.

 

[edde]

I woulnd't use Avo/Spax/Gaz there allrubish you pay your money for suspension and £500 is cheap.

i beg to differ ....


true, you get what you pay for, but the more expensive kit is usually no better than some of the quality cheap-er units.


and the manufacturers of the cheaper units dont seem to go bankrupt evry other year, a la leda etc.
