So... Whats actually wrong with GAZ suspension.

[Rexy]

I know a lot of people dislike them, and a lot of people Like them. People moaning that they are skittish etc blar blar so before I send my £££ off for a set of GHA's what I'd like to know is from the peole who have used them what spring rate did you select, what style of driving you do and how you get on with them.

I'm not a ***** and will play about with spring rates, damper settings along with cast, camber and toe settings. I personally cannot decide on which way I want to go with them as a lot of people are saying they are too stiff?

The set I'm having made up is with a rear coilover unit So I was going to go for a 300 front and 350 rear hopefully i can use this as a basic setup and play about with things. Another question is what spring rates are AST using.

I had Gaz golds and a front and rear shock leaked all their oil out lol, apart from that I was really happy with them.

I've seen an awful lot of threads saying 'my Gaz have failed'.

They're just not very good. Considering you can buy Bilstein's for not a lot more money, you'd have to be mental to buy Gaz IMO.

I thought the same as you a while ago as they're very good on other cars, but they just don't suit the clio.

Additional Question.... Where's the best place to get Bilsteins? - I was just eyeing up GAZ units ...

they're ok, better than the cheap s**t £300 jobbies flying about, but they ain't on par with zee german stuff, end of

 

[Greeny.]

For the price of the lower spec Gaz id get FK's personally.

 

[Dave..]

They're ok, right up until they piss their oil out.

So that's about 3 months.

Like all things on CS, one person has a bad experience and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon, as posted above some people have had good experiences with them.

Lots of people I know run gaz suspension on different cars not only clios, they offer a good warranty so it isn't really a problem if they do go wrong. I run them on my ph1 and love them couldn't argue with them at all and they are literally 10 mins from my house so can't really argue if I have any issues

 

[SamP]

Mine are fantastic. Although a grand total of 8 miles have been done on them in the past year... Go low as f**k tho.

 

[Maz]

Mine were gash, jelly on a plate springs to mind..
