Hi guys. I'm looking to get a suspension set to suite my newly acquired c20let. Handling is more important than comfort ;)

Any suggestions appreciated

join png, then get the club rate on gaz suspension. then get them to tailor a set for you.

Are they good? I had gaz shocks on my old Clio and they were softer than the standard ones. I had to change them back to stop the wheels scrubbing on bumps :(

gaz are very good tell them what your using them for and the spec of car and they will tailor the kit to your requirements, dont forget though that too stiff on public roads will be worse than a bit soft as no road is perfectly smooth so the car can skip and jump about if the suspension is too stiff

seen as it was mostly on the rear torsion (spelling?) bar I doubt it was the springs lol

But thanks guys. I'll give them a call.
What sort of discount do members get. I was planning on going for membership once the car was finished, but if it will save me a good wedge I could start it now I guess :thumb:

since when did a torsion bar stop being a spring then???? it simply bends a little differently. they can also sag & lose their spring force.
