Now, what would you choose if you want the BEST and what would you choose if you want the cheep alternative?

Come on, lets here

I`m thinking on the GAZ kit ( 560£ ) how is that?

 

Ohlins or Jumbo Proflex at the top

and


Gaz somewhere down the bottom from the cheaper end.

Only my thoughts - you did ask

 

a resonable priced and very good damper - BILSTEIN !! all the way for me !!
as long as we are talking competition units not road units !!

 

Year ok, i`m talking aboutmaks 1200£ or something...

I have the bilstain/eibach kit now, but wanna upgrade, and dont wanna use about 1200++£ on a coilover kit, tho i KNOW it`s a lot better....

 

i got gaz on mine...

i got em coz they were cheaper than konis and more than adequate for what i need (ie a normal road car with maybe a couple of for-fun trackdays every year)

 

Jim...my hero ...i wish i couild afford coil overs ...any advice for a twat like me oh great one?...and dont be rude you cheeky boy!

 

advice? dont stalk every single post i make because its quite a big waste of your time and it doesnt actually upset me at all (a tad anoying i must admit, but nothing major)

 

Sorry Jim....my best mate...i respect your reply..i love you sooooooo much...God when i meet you i gonna shake your hand soooooo hard...damn your my hero.


God bless mate

 

H&R - Not cheap though

AVO - Reasonably priced but like to knock

Leda - For the track, again not cheap

 

cossiemanden,

AVO have done some work recently and now have the insert working the same way up as Bilstein. They have got to be worth a serious look at now, before the GAZ stuff IMHO

 

the avos are good for the price as long as you change the springs as std there very soft for the given damping rates

 

ive used the 'upside down' units and like i say there not bad , just the springs are too soft

 

I have some Leda's for sale if ya interested

 

remote reservoir ledas are very good !!

 

Who would like to put a coil over Jim?


Sorry my mate..just a sad joke...i must be punished

 

the escort i'm looking at has ohlins(spelling)

mind the others have bilstein

i did have avo on my saff and they were fine

 

until you crashed it !!

 

true

 

i have gaz on mine and find the very good!

 

p.s the guy left leda and set gaz up

 

Phil

What is your problem with Jim???????????????????????

Why come on a perfectly normal post and start stirring

THE MOD SQUAD ARE WATCHING

 

so whats best for the road with occasional track days???

think my avo's are fucked. cant seem to adjust them, they just keep twisting (dampning adjuster)

 

i shall be fitting billies to mine in time

 

hmm on avo coilovers you ask for the spring tension you want, if you dont specify then you prolly end up with 250/200
its quite important to find out what spring rate you require and ask for it when buying, its no extra charge, cheers nomad (aka demon tweeks)

 

i have leda's on my 4x4 saff

 

I got some of the latest Avo's and run 350 at the front and 175 at the rear and have been really impressed. See Mike R for a good price

Get double lock rings though rather than using the crappy grub screw in one lock ring.

 

A little ill informed Gus
However I do sell GAZ for around £500 and they are good for the money and better IMO than AVO

 

See everyone has a difference of opinion which is what the world is about.
What you like I may not and vice versa. Makes a mockery of the "whats the best for..." posts that keep appearing

Paul the crappy grub screw is the way professional motorsport teams use them

Good price on the Gaz cossymad

 

The main technical guy, who is well up on all things suspension and geometry related left Leda and is now working at GAZ, using his knowledge to influence and better the GAZ range.

Look out for some VERY tasty new stuff coming from them in the near future.

 

Buncha lesbo's, what do they know

 

PF Dave,

re: new GAZ stuff- are you talking remote reservoirs??

if so...

 

6 page company profile coming out in october edition Dave??????

 

LOL no 4 page actually

I can't really say too much but they will be adding more to the range put it that way...

But have known the man in question for a fair while now...Before you say anything LOL

Hows your car coming along btw?

 

Just waiting for a vital transmission component
(It's being Gay'd up at the mo.)

 

Ive got Gaz ones! Not set em up right yet, but seem fine to me! Although they seem a little close to the inside of me wheels on the back.

 

the best and i DO mean the best have got to be jumbo reiger.

yes i do have a full set for sale.

 

Is that a kidney or just an arm and a leg? ?

 

Oooooh Glad you said that! You clearly know your shit on this kinda stuff and thats what I have

Been awesome to far, might go up on spring rates slightly to see how that feels...

 

fook me how much are they

 

They are VERY VERY CHEAP compared with the ones Sean runs.

His setup retails for over £10,000 I think...
