Just fitted my new Gaz Gold pros ..Thought i would set them high to allow for the springs to settle in ,i`ve been told they drop 5 to 8mm ,does anyone know how many miles it will take .

Im thinking of doing some off roading laugh

Must say it does look crap set high. 155mm front 170mm at the rear.

Does anyone know the factory standard heights ?

Setting them low looks good but the handling is compromised!

Going to keep it standard this time ,sick of speed bumps .

Daz, I have Eibach springs and as far as I know, they don't sag, certainly not up to now and they have been on for at least 18 months.

What weight did you go for?
