Mixed reviews of th eold Gaz stuff. Supposedly ok but too harsh for road use.

No personal experience though!

How are they on the road and what model are they?

I got the GHA-316E (S1) kit from autoshocks.co.uk - they are gold coloured (not blue like the ebay pic) mine are height adjustable aswell, not sure if the ebay ones are????.

They took a bit of setting up (prob the same for any adjustable dampers) but I find them fine on the road. If they're set up too soft though the car becomes like a bucking bronco at speed on bumps and too hard means broken spine. Took a lot of tweek-drive-tweek-drive-tweek etc....

we had them on S333FEE until the rears both went within a week of each other so now running s2 Bilsteins, but good when on the car , although ours were a bit too stiff for the roads round here but fine on better smoother roads without the Renfrewshire potholes. ours are gold, height etc adjustable, and when the mood takes me will be refurbed.

less roll on corners, but sometimes a bit too harsh for long comfort.

Funny man!

Both the kits for the Elise are height adjustable and damping adjustable, though the Gold seems to have better adjustment. The range of adjustment is really good, from too soft to too hard (for me anyway), so there is a just right setting.

I could be persuaded to do a group buy if there were a few people who want them...
