Im looking at upgrading my suspension to either Gaz or bilstein. Ive heard good things about both and i dont think there is much in it really, but just wanted other opinions.

Anyone got either of these on their car at the mo who could help little ol' me

highly rate my billies (group N's and rear group ns but not the ones with the black coveres which are firmer again), not experienced use of the gaz but understand they are alot firmer.

i had the joys of billstein springs and dampers on my vts for 4 weeks, awesome to drive on.

dont have any experience of Gaz setups. never even heard of them to be honest but i doubt there will be much difference in how the car feels between the two.

IIRC Gaz are more expensive, and prefer by the people who can set a car up, Billies are very good also with less adjustment.

I just fitted my billies today!!!

Gaz have got a lot better since some guy from leda joined them a while back. iirc Gaz adjustables with 40mm springs is £250 delivered

Tbh you cant lose which ever you choose mate. I think you said you were looking for coilovers though. Im pretty sure Bilstein dont make coilovers for the Saxo or someone would have said about them on here by now.

The billie sprint shocks or group n shocks are very good though. Love mine.

bilstein don't do coilovers for the saxo.. so out of the 2 you are left with Gaz
