I don't have a ref against other makes, and the ones that were on the car were trashed, but OMG what a difference. Bit fiddly to fit in places and I'll do a 'Howto at some stage' but well worth it...........

The important bit is the small word "Pro".

The Gaz Gold Pros are a completely re-engineered product.

The Pros totally solved the well publicised failings of the old Gaz Golds.

Ok so I am a Chimp owner but the Tuscan Gaz Gold Pros are pretty much identical.

Having now done nearly 10,000 miles on my GGP's, with no leaks squeaks or issues of any kind, I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone wanting to replace their worn coil overs at a reasonable price.

You just need to give them time to settle and bed in.

For some reason the springs on my Gas Gold Pros needed more time to settle than most other cars I have fitted new springs to, perhaps because our cars are so light?

After a good 3,000 miles or so the springs became fully settled, before this the ride was a fraction too firm and jiggly.

The ride is now an excellent compromise between handling & comfort, and damping is very well controlled.

A great product at the right price, recommended.

Mine squeak badly, but I don't think they are the Pro's. Can you stop the squeaks?

My original gaz golds squeeked. I complained and had them all replaced by Gaz for Gaz gold pros.

18 months or so later 2 rears are squeeking again.

Now I just turn my stereo up or rev the engine so I don't get too annoyed by it when going over humps or down dips.

Great shocks but they squeek.

Just fitted GAZ Gold Pros, what a difference. I need to get the geo set that should improve it even more.

The problem is you up to over 100 before you know it and it still feels solid, no fighting to keep it on the road like before. There a a few handling quirks that I'm sure the Geo set up will cure (fingers crossed).

BUT, they squeak. Will speak to them tomorrow about that. Maybe it just needs a few more miles to bed them in.

Had mine a couple of weeks and they squeak!

Would be interested to know if that can be sorted...

Had mine on 18 months and no squeeking? I guess i have covered maybe 4000 miles in that time? I did all the wishbone bushes before the shocks too, maybe that's a contributing factor?
