Wanting to go back to Bilstein

[bobfather]

I currently run on a set of Gaz Golds which were great for the person I was when I bought the car but now I use it for touring holidays and the springs are so tough that I can't adjust the shocks soft enough. I'm trying to avoid spending £1k on a new set of billies, I was wondering what you folks think about buying second-hand and having them professionally rebuilt. Perhaps that'd be near the same price. Just wish I hadn't scrapped my old billies

Sorry, I mean springs as well. Blackdownauto charges over £900 for the set

Buy a softer spring rate for the Gaz?

That's plan 'B'. I'd rather bite the bullet and put it back to standard. My Gaz Golds have done over 20K miles, they're nearing 'end of life'

The base price of £156 for the damper doesn't include bushes either... that's about another £27 per corner from memory.

4 dampers, 4 springs & 8 bushes is £965
