Gaz gold pro reliability

[Hedgetrimmer]

I have just bought a T350 and it is running original Harvey Bailey dampers that are past their best. Looking to replace with Gaz gold pro coil overs or even Bilstein dampers. I have a number of questions:

Are Gaz dampers now more reliable are there seemed to be a lot problems with failures in the past?
Has anyone fitted Tuscan S dampers on a t350 with the dark blue springs on the rear?
Do the billies still result in too soft a set up being 200 on the front and 285 on the back with Tuscan?

Car will be used the road only.

I know elements of the above have been done before but it would be interesting to hear if anyone has been in the same dilemma.

Thanks. A fair few seem to criticise the Gaz for being firm hence considering billies with TVR eibach springs. Seems that the Gaz gols suffer from very stiff damping even after adjusting which could be a quality/design issue

Anyone had any problems with handling or bottoming out with Bilsteins and higher spring ratings on the back ie later spring ratings of 227lbs or above?
