who rates them and who don't?
ride qulitay?

And is anyone running the full coilover set up that they offer i.e all cornners are coilovers?

Meant to be pretty decent, well worth spending the extra over 'budget' ones anyway.
Ive had cheap coulovers, id buy better ones next time. Gaz, KW's or bilsein etc

build quality has improved over time
ride quality, well there dampning adjustable, so should be able to get it how you want
built in the uk, has big advantages for advice, and warrenty issues/repair etc

My mates just put a set on his 182 Cup, says there really good, but thats the only coilies hes ever had, so nothing to compare with. Took about 3 week to arrive though.

Everyone slates them on Cliosport, Think it depends on the application and whether Gaz have bothered to get the correct spring rates etc

would totally agree with what appliction, as hear great and not so great reports, but gaz will spec the springs to your request
is only the owners fault if they havent done the homework on what to get rates wise

I like them  As said though, check the spring rates, and then after they are fitted get a proper geo setup done by someone who knows what they are doing

I got Gaz coilovers for all 4 corners but am yet to fit the rear's as the turrets need strengthening so i currently have fk's on the rear. If your going to get the rear set up you have to specify wen ordering or they send you an adjustable spring and seperate damper. I'll let you know when the works been done though

Dont think you need to as the turrets take the impact of the normal shocks anyway. There wouldnt be any more preasure put on the turrets by fitting them. Maybe weld a strut in.

i've got a set. And love them compared to my old set up. You do have to play with your spring rates though. And my rear's fitted no hassle.
