they're only good if you keep to the spring rates they're designed for on the fronts from what I've seen.

 

My 205 Had AST's on and now Gaz "Golds" or whatever they are. The rears are Billi tarmac GRP N's the motorspo ones

 

The 306 ran modified Gaz golds. and rears which were far too soft, but they're designed for std bars, I would have had them revalved if I'd kept it. (reads the engine hadn't detonated)

 

Really need an adjustable dampers if you're switching rates around.

the adjustable gaz kit is quite reasonable, however the damping rate requires fiddling with for some time to get right, and then you'll need a wet setting also.

I leave the damping once set in the dry, I just go sans ARB's for wet setting, or sit in cafe with coffee and choccy bar <_<

Something worth noting is that GAZ shocks (or at least the GHA ones) only have adjustable rebound, the bump setting is set from the factory and can't be adjusted.

They the cheapy ones?? Think the "gold" or which ever code they are give combined adjustment, you have to go to remote res jobs to get full 3 way adjustment, which is tempting, but a bit tarty for a 205 tin can

 

Can comapre on the roundabouts up to emerald shortly <_<

Oh yeah. <_<

GGA are the fancy pants ones with adjustable bump and rebound, GHA are the cheapo ones that I have. Its dead cheap to have them reset (and rebuilt) by Gaz though, £25 each.
