Default suspension.....sorry...yet again

i've got a knackered front strut, so i've been going through past posts about coilovers and it seems that u have to shell out £800+ on a set (to be decent).......at the moment i've got AVO adjustables with C/D springs but i was going to get a set of Ahmed springs cos the front of the car has dropped.........are the GAZ £500 entry level coilover kits good enough for my everyday (once in a blue moon track/ring) saff...???....or should i just get a new strut and springs.........cheers for the replys (if any... ) Pete......

If you get them, make sure you buy them through Christ at Carnoisseaur, as I he knows what spring rates to order (as I was kind enough to tell him ). Order them from anyone else and it will be SHIT on back roads.

Personally, I would recommend Konis and Ahmed's springs for a road car, but no-one listens .

I've got the Entry level GAZ's on mine, ordered from Chris and they're spot on, no complaints. Obviously the GAZ Golds will be better ect but mine are the best money I've spent on the car
