I have Gaz suspension on my ST and can't fault them at all. Very happy with them. They seem durable enough but i added a coat of waxoyl as well to help preserve the nickel plating. They have a good range of adjustablilty as well and perform very well.

Roosie... effort

mine were justa pain in the arse since i bought them, only really got them because i thought they were one of those "cool mods to have"

was so glad when i went with the konis. perfect straight out of the box, no messing, just a nice pleasant drive and good handling
