I called Gaz direct, they were fine to help.

I bought Gaz gold, it was not that much more.
I have found that the ability to adjust ride height on all Gaz shocks requires some thought as the ones I got dont have the extra bits for easy height control that others have. They might be better these days.

okay lads cheers for the feed back , the car is a 4x4 so slighty heavier than the 2wd.
danielbetty that's a big difference on the front and smaller increase on the rear , is yours set up for track or just the road , I don't want the car to be to stiff that is skips about
