Which GAB? Made in JP or made in MAS?

And personally I recommend neither...

What are you using the car for?

Axel777 I've had Gab SS on my Civic for 20K now and Im pleased with there performance. Done 4 trackday recently and mucking round with ride height and Dampning is a piece of piss. I changed my mind on rear spring rates after initial testing at the track and I was able to order some stiffer rear springs for SFA. Yes I looked at the BC stuff before I bought GAB SS but they just seem a little too cheap.

thanks for the input bro. i thought that GAB was cheaper than BC on ebay if i can remember...

maybe, I inspected the BC's at a car parts shop they looked OK, Im sure there's probably not much in it, see if you can find a local supplier and check both out.

gab ss 750 posted from malay, took 3 business days.
seller: fitzrace, gotta ask for discount though and isnt dealt through ebay but he sends invoice to your email. make sure pay by paypal as it is more secure.

beware: had rediculously sh*t communication with this seller, but item came perfecto

well acutally

these cheapies will do quite well on the track compared to the streeet... and i would imagine swapping the rear springs on the FD is easier (therefore cheaper) compared to an actual coilover system

Curtis do over 1000km a week on some pretty shit roads and ride on the street is pretty damn fine for a ' cheapie ', one of the few benefit of the FD design, rear spring change takes 30sec with the wheel off the ground. I was more pointing out that GAB SS coilovers do offer the ability to get diff spring rates that wont break the bank, cant comment on other Coilover companies ??
