Lol, yeah well I thought eventually I am going to buy some, and save the hassle of getting struts and sending them to GAZ then waiting, and so on, might as well buy them.

Other then the lonely drive from Rugby to Kent when I had awful manflu.

Mate.. There awesome.. I've been riding round stranded suspension for to long. and yeah... there great. defiantly recommended.

the Softness adjustment is awesome too - From literally no suspension (race car) to practically stranded softness..

I likkeeee ;D

I want some now !! Hearing about the rebound adjustment like that sounds ideal for what I want. Jezza where can you get them for £480 and is that including vat ?

PPS do coilovers but i haven't used them so cannot comment on how well they perform etc.  A friend had them on a mk3 polo though and they go extremely low.

Maybe someone on here might have these and be able to shed some light on them?

Yeah they do but they are front only.

Ah yeah i forgot that.  Probably better to get a full set all matching etc.

Contact GAZ direct.  What people with mk2 caddys (felicia shape) used to do for the best price.

Actually it's £462.69 plus the vat Jezza. £543.66 in total. Still a good price though.
