Spoke to Gaz the other day about there seperate oil resevoir coilovers with rebound adjustment etc.

was horrified at the price i was quoted of £1340 + VAT.

do they do several different setups now then, as surely if the Gold ones as someone has for sale on this forum are aprox £800 and i got quoted £1300? and the old origonal style were only £500

You can get billies no problem, MEF can get them for you.

What's wrong with 1300 quid? That's cheap for coilovers. The shitty oil filled ones are 500quid.

I've got some std GAZ gold coilovers, not used them much but on the softest setting seem OK for the road. Gave minimal roll during a half track day as well.
Everyone says they are no better than koni stuts and springs, i think they are and for the price £500 can't complain.

I'm sure the £1k+ stuff is better but we don't ALL want to spend a fortune.

i know the cheap ones are £500, and i have no problem paying £1300 for coilovers if they are of a decent make, i was happy to buy a set of Leda's but only just found out they no longer exist.

just looking round at other options, but dont really want to part with £1300 for Gaz.
