I I wasnt a student with a fiver to my name, id maybe consider that a valid suggestion, but then if I had that much money Id have bought leda already and wouldnt be asking about the cheapest setup available! As things stand I can justify, but not afford to spen about 300 on suspension if its good. My current spax setup is far too hard and the damping rates are a crock of shite, so I want it changed before it damages the car or me!

Just wondered if anyone rates the gaz stuff as ive never really hear dit mentioned.

Currently have Gaz on my car, cant really fault them atall.

but will be changing them soon, thru no reasonable fault, but basically want to go for a rose jointed unit at the rear.

Gaz do seem to be at a decent price and they do do the job really well


Cant go wrong in my opinion - but if you do decide to go for Gaz, then PM cossymad on here, his price will be alot better than what Rally Design will be able to supply them to you.

cheers chip, been on here a while, but dont post much. Im just being a wus and want nice comfy suspension again (6 months and 7.5k miles in a cav have ruined me

Konis and eibach would be good, but ££. I want something decent, no springs and std shocks crap, but Im mega skint and need it done soon, so unless I fall across them SH its not going to happen.

Im really just wondering if agz is slightly more expensive than gmax, cos its slightly better, or is it an absolute bargain?
