mk1super Posted April 11, 2025 Report Posted April 11, 2025 Hi folks, I have been looking at the Gaz long and short coilovers ( I’m not rich I got back dated pay ) and was looking at upgrading the suspension on my car (Mk1 Escort road car ) From DIY coilovers (modified 2.8 billies )to something like Gaz. Would I be better off with the long struts or short ones ? Car is never going rallying or circuit racing however the odd track day and twisty roads round my way. Thank you in advance.
Miniliteman Posted April 11, 2025 Report Posted April 11, 2025 Long. But, why the change? Are the Bilstein not working properly?

I think maybe Magpie brain kicked in and I seen shiny Gaz coilovers and thought they would be nice on my car. Perhaps best I just spruce up the existing setup as it works fine. Thank you for bringing me back to sane thought!
Monza Posted April 11, 2025 Report Posted April 11, 2025 Had billies on my road car for 7 years without a problem. I'd spruce up what you got if they're good mate....[emoji106]Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted April 11, 2025 Moderator Report Posted April 11, 2025 I have the full cartridge type Bilstein on my Mk2 for over a couple of decades now. I keep thinking I should get Bilstein to refurbish them but they are just as firm and work just as well as ever so I figure hey maybe next year.
