Suspension: LEDA or GAZZARD??

[karmavore]

I'm looking to go adjustable soon and am trying to decide between these two. Price is a factor (must be under <$2K) and track duty will be light, if at all. Must be able to be made soft for the street and be lowered (for looks). Leda looks nicer and JAE sells them but Gaz seems more popular. Thoughts??

Luke,

I'm running the Gaz shocks with K&W springs that I got from Marcus. I have no complaints so far and I've had them a bit over a year now.


My only bit of advise is to be careful of what spring rate you go with. I'm running a DOT 7 up front and DOT 8 in the rear (this is the track setup), my ride is stiff to say the least. If you want to stay closer to the stock spring rate go with the DOT 4/5.

What's wrong with your current springs and shocks that make you want to change them?

Hi Luke,
Yes Mike has a quite stiff spring setup .... ;o)
If you like to get a "similar to stock" setup I would agree with Mike. Take the 4/5 springs.

The ride is a litte jarring and after 10 years and 37K miles...

I also want to lower the car and even it out and make it adjustable (for track days).

...any votes for LEDA?

Thanks guys.

Luke.
