Gaz Options - Gold or Mono

[ShiDevil]

Hi Chaps

Quick question, looking at some new shocks, well, researching anyway.

Two options, the Gaz Golds or Gaz Monotubes. Has anyone gone for the mono's? They are almost twice the cost, so wondering if twice the benefit (probably not)

I'm looking for mainly road use

Thanks,

Steve

I think the vast majority of T car owners go for Nitrons, ideally with Eibach springs.

This. Spec the dampers/ spring rates correctly.

I've had Monos & Eibach springs on my chim since production and they are faultless, (and yes, I have driven Nitrons).

I Have some Gaz shocks - (I believe Golds) on my T350.
They are approximately 1 year old, with about 2,000 miles usage.
They still look like new when I saw them while the car was on a ramp.
They have a lifetime warranty I believe too.

Up for sale if you'd like to make an offer...

Golds and Monos are 2 different animals.

Monos on the Griff and gold on the 350, just did a lap round Spa under 3mins and car felt awesome! so good enough for me ;]
People talk about Nitrons like they are Ohlins they are not! are they better than Gaz general feeling is yes! How many push there car to the limit between the 2??
Not many me thinks??
