Went for gaz golds with custom valve packs so thier not smashing my teeth out mine are for road occasional track no point spending any more than you need to

Depends on your budget.

Gaz Gold are good for less than a grand.

Both are a load of old shit, but Gaz are more shit! Black Art Design if you actually want quality and someone valving who knows what they're doing.

For my the Best its Gaz Gold is good coilover...first put Avo but dont like rear many strongs and noises

smiley

Meaning as I've had custom packs thier still shit because they don't know what thier doing?

I had avo an they leaked within 12 month, I now have Gaz an they been fault less. So I wouldn't hesitate to fit again or recommend Gaz

smiley

Thats way more helpful somebody that's had both and knows

Avo are non serviceable last time I looked. Gaz are serviceable. However I bought a pair of rear gaz GHA's for my focus rs about 3 years ago. They lasted less than a week, bit of a fight to get them exchanged too. I never fitted the exchange items.
I work at Leda now, need I say more!?

Hi had my Leda's rebuilt at Gaz, fookin cowboys!
After a handful of miles they had to come off and be rebuilt by Leda themselves and can't recommend them enough

jonfoc

Thank you very much!
Yeah for some reason people sent their Leda units to Gaz. We are up and running in Lincoln

smiley

Jon how much are leda coilovers?
When I was looking at coilovers it was between avo and gaz for cost I first looked at black arts was told an 8 week lead time then was put off them by a member on here who said all the ones he'd seen the adjusters come loose this and the being nearlly double the price so let's just compare

Gaz golds 950

Avo. 1000 ish

Black art design 1500

Leda?

jonfoc

Pm'd you mate

It's Czech Mate

Whatever you get if it's mainly a road car you'll need them custom valved and the right springs

Most coil overed cars I've been in were shit for road use as the were way oversprung and too low.

jonfoc

Very wise words. If the springs are too hard they don't allow the dampers to work

Got gas golds on my sapph its no longer a daily runabout and I've only done maybe 800 miles with them fitted but very happy with them even more so as I got them for around £500 new/secondhand,
