Re: Coilovers
I recommend Gaz with ASPs, marginally cheaper than the other choices, easy adjustment and no issues with lower bush life.
One thing I have learned with ASP shox is it's best to use stock length springs, My experience is with Gaz, but I would assume other similar products would give similar results, fit shortened springs and even WITH the adjustable ride height given by ASPs, you can run into the law of diminishing returns and end up with a ride too low for comfort! Especially on the front.

Re: Coilovers
Thanks for the reply ,
I looked at the GAZ website last night I’m looking at around £600 for springs and dampers, Spax do a set as well.
I was wondering if they might be to hard for road use and GAZ shocks seam to be the only ones I am hearing and reading about that have been put on the sprint, I haven’t heard anything else so far.
Car will be used on the road, not planning on the track, but never say never …

Re: Coilovers
What I know of are Gaz, Koni, AVO and Spax. In my opinion/experience, Konis are are a pig to set up and adjust, AVOs knock out the bottom bush in days (or at least they used to a couple of years ago) and Spax are just generally poor quality and short lived.
Hence my reccommendation for the Gaz!
