koni or gaz shocks? - rd070707 - 17-09-2014

Got the choice of koni or gaz adjustable rear shocks...any opinions / experiences?


RE: koni or gaz shocks? - Midnightclub - 17-09-2014

Bought Gaz maybe 3-4 years ago now? Still work perfectly well, adjusters not seized etc.. live by the coast/sea and people complained of rusting in the past, but seems to have been sorted. Can get em' for like £100 delivered off the bay too.

Thanks bud, i have a very stiff air setup though so am really looking for which would best damp it as its very bouncy lol


RE: koni or gaz shocks? - Midnightclub - 17-09-2014

Completely adjustable, fairly soft on the lowest setting but can go as 'stiff' as you like, just need to tweak it and go for a drive til it 'feels' right, should be a piece of piss if you're on air.. just raise the back and twist the dials lol. Absorbs the bumps well enough though.

Anyone run the yellow konis? Any feedback on them?


RE: koni or gaz shocks? - Toms306 - 17-09-2014

I ran the konis front and back on the 1.4, 2nd hand when I got them but were still perfect and adjustment was good. Did start to leak slightly by the end of my ownership though, but I think they were about 5 years old at that point.
