http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281726401737&globalID=EBAY-GB Gold seems to be there top end. Are they any good? Can't find any b6s/b8 rear for this kinda money. Are they passable? Just acutely aware I need to upgrade from my standard shocks as I'm so low... ________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |

I have GAZ golds on the rear of mine with 21mm bars and hybrid ARB and their spot on. Massive inprovement over the stodgy B6's I had previous. Fully bump and rebound adjustable as well so can be set to your liking. Most peoples grumble is the anodised finish doesn't do well against salt so they go rusty on a daily car but been on mine 2 years now and still mint. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Im running these http://www.kamracing.co.uk/peugeot-205-bilstein-group-a-tarmac-rear-dampers.html With 21s on my 6 with solid mounts & total Jorg refurb axle with b8s & everything new & Gen Peouget up front including new Gen ARB but Vibrotech P bushes & it's amazing !!!! Miles is running similar I believe ? I think with larger ARB ? I'm sure he will say ? Don't forget you don't need stiff suspension for Hill climbing or bumpy tracks like Castle Combe ...other tracks maybe & I want to enjoy driving mine on the road without it taking my fillings out  |

Dampers aren't cheap to produce so if you're buying them for a cheap price new they're typically not going to be very well made.If your issue is that you are too low, then by all means upgrade your dampers but you're then still too low. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I can vouch for the GAZ Golds also, i have had the GAZ Gold Coilover kit on my 6 for over 5yrs now 40,00miles later and cannot fault them on or off the track. Apart from the finish which hasnt stood the test of time and dosnt look nice in places. The flexibility of the units is very easy to use and operate and i cant grumble about the ride control either.Get what you paid for ________________________________________ "Gotta Love The 6"According to my wife i think the 6 is the fastest car in the world, perhaps she is right LoL ! |

I had no complaints about my Gaz rears, apart from sticky adjusters, although I did have a thicker compression foot stack in them than standard.I prefered them over the rear Bilsteins, quality on those has been shocking for a few years. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Don't forget Mei I have a life outside the ownership of my 6 ie family, friends, house and work so don't have an exhaustible supply of money and time to chop, change, modify or keep buying different parts/upgrades to see what always works best. Its not a go fella please understand that. He asked the question so I answered with my experience on the exact kit he wishes to use. You had problems with Gaz Gold stuff Mei quality wise ? Or Is it just didn't suit your application ? ________________________________________ "Gotta Love The 6"According to my wife i think the 6 is the fastest car in the world, perhaps she is right LoL ! |

Strange, I was running with smaller bars than most too and had no issue. Rode better than standard.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
