- Gaz gold v BAD suspension

[B13 JUS]

I have some Gaz gold coilovers, would I see any benefit going to BAD coilovers on my 3dr?
Or what about bilstein coilovers?

The car will be use for track and road.

The Gaz Gold are set up for just track use, so give a filling rattling ride, the BADs are set up for fast road / occasiional track use, so give a good ride / handling compromise.

Gaz golds are good with the correct poundage of spring

hey jus get a drive of my car wen its back and see how they feel for you befoer make any decisins mate.

Have you gone for the BAD Gaz?

[mark shead]

I like the ride handling set up with the BAD, I do not like the gaz.

yeah Kelv i have BAD on my car.

Cool, I'll possibly get them again later in the year

You'd be better off buying decent stuff, like Bilstein. You can get everything for around £2K new, cheaper again if you don't go for magnesium rear dampers.

Driven 2 cars with BAD stuff and didn't rate them at all. (2 ways and the 3 way jobs)

can you adjust the dampers on bilstein and does 2k get 3 way adjustables?

A well respected rally man here had this to say about the BAD stuff - "what a set of the 3 way BAD cost doesn't even buy you one corner of proper 3 way stuff. I'd never really though about it like that before he said it lol.

The bilsteins i'm talking about use group a inserts in group n bodies (fit the standard hubs), coilover rears and aren't adjustable (apart from height). However with the right inserts/spring chosen at the start you'd never really need to adjust them anyway. You can get non mag rears which cuts the cost a lot as i think they are something like £300 each!

If i was you i'd stay with what you have, well maybe take advice on different poundage springs if you think they need it.

You can say that about anything - the more money you pay, the better it gets . For the money, I'd stick with the 2-way BAD. 3 way stuff takes a LOT of time to set up.

If you are not going to track the car i would stick with konis and bayjoo spring with 6 degree rear beam great for the road
