What are you using the car for?

I've got GAZ golds. I rated them very highly on my last car but have had a few issues with my set for the 944.

In my opinion they're best on track and fast road but if you want lots of comfort then I don't think they're the way to go

my S2, original shocks are shot dead.
comfort is second to handling. but no track days. Don`t fancy them. My old escort had freshly rebuild gaz coilovers, but it was way to bouncy on hard setup. but it was way to low aswel
money wise konis with other bits from states comes to same money as gaz
