    Gaz are used alot in hillclimb events so i would of thought they would be pretty decent!
    Havnt actually used them before but heard good praise about them!

    a friend of mine has gaz coilovers on his sierra and i highly rate them, very good ride quality considering how stiff the car is.

    i beleive that is right.

    also, gaz shocks are built to quite a high standard and after they have been built, they get tested and you get a print out of how the shock performed. Obviously, if it isn't up to their standards then it won't get sold.

    Anyone know how they fair up to bilstein?

    compared to bilstein they have more attention to detail
    but billies are a well know company gas aren't as mainstream

    yea someone was on about that the other day
    a gsd kit or something??

    should be a good quality bit of kit

    and tbh it's worth all 500 quid so getting it cheaper is a right bonus

    had Gaz coilovers on the 172, excellent build quality being plated and all.

    ride quality after setting up was pretty good also
