Any one recomend a good set of coilovers to put on my saff?

 

A set of Gaz Golds

Your best bet is to try and blag a ride in a few cossies with different makes, I like AVO myself there can be a marked difference but more down to the spring rate than damper itself, nothing wrong with gaz from what I've seen, just once you've paid you're stuck with them.

i've got gaz coilovers on my saff and would definatelty recommend them

 

i´ve bilstein coilovers on mine...just one word to say ... P E R F E C T!!!

 

Ive got pro flex coilovers on mine ,ive tryed a few sorts and a lot come with unsuitable weight springs

 

My AVOs have been great as well... they repair them quickly if you ever do have an issue... I bought a second hand set as back ups - which they repaired in about 3 days.

 

I've the same, love them Think mine are a grpn item? But they are hard to get now

 

Interesting as I'll be buying some for mine,

I'll more than likely choose Gaz Gold but I've been recommended AVO's by a load of people.

 

Has anyone gone from Koni's to coilovers? As I have Koni's on at the moment, but not sure if I should go to coilovers? Want a nice road set up!

I have a set of Gaz coilovers on my fiesta ST, and love them, have transformed the car. However, I've not driven the saph yet as it's a rolling shell!

 

I've got Gaz on my saph, no complaints at all, only the springs really as on the softest setting tis still a bit hard on the back.

Cheers, Chris

 

i have AVO on mine and really done like them, id imagine they'd be very good on a track, but they are awful on the local roads, it bounces and skips round alot. i have been in one with Gaz and it was a far better ride, to me anyway.

 

Changing to gaz golds next week.

 

For those that reckon their coilovers are stiff, do you know what poundage spring you are running? I have 550 front and 225 rear on Gaz Golds and it feels good on track - this is on a race car btw. Would be very hard on a bumpy road though. You can change the spring very easily - just buy a set of softer springs and it's a ten minute job to swap them.

Thanks for all the advice. Still in 2 minds what to get! My car is not a every day use and would prefer a sort of track day set up as the car is not very road friendly anyway!

 

I run 300lb 9" front and 200lb 12" rear, I find the rear is too soft, the fronts about right.

275 front and unknown rear, and its still too hard up front.................

 

I'm going for 350 front 180 rear.

 

Er indoors like a stiff front end a f-------g good hard ride!!

 

So we've heard lol.

 

If you buy AVO coilys and don't like the poundage of the springs they will change them FOC once for you btw.

i went from koni's to gaz coilovers and i don't think there's much in it. i had the koni's set on half way and the gaz on soft
