Anyone had any recent experience with their adjustable coilovers for an NA(or NB).

They're popular in the UK, try some web searches on UK/Europe forums.

PaulF has a set and id say they are very good value for money, well damped and compliant.

For their price it would be hard to beat.

Thanks for the replies. Really want so feedback in Australian conditions. Will give PaulF a pm. Would like to know if they are Classic or Gold series.

Mine are Gold Pro and I'm quite happy with them. I don't play around with the damper settings at all; I just found settings I liked and stuck with them. I drive the car every day, the last few weeks with a very lightly padded fixed back seat, and I'm quite happy with the ride comfort and the cornering behaviour.

I'm the first to admit that I don't have a whole lot to compare them to, but Dann has dríven on plenty of different setups and has commented several times that mine is pretty good. The only thing they don't really have is the ability to adjust height independent of preload.

Thanks Paul, really appreciate your feedback, sounds good to me and I am sure Dann would have enough experience to provide a good reference point.

From an Aust conditions perspective, GAZ are popular on Lotus 7 style clubmans here.
