Hi,

I want to replace the standard Bilstein suspension on my 2005 VX Turbo for some newer fresher units.

The car has only done 35k miles but is almost 15 years old so I'm sure some newer suspension will improve things.

It is a second car and will be driven mostly on dry roads in summer, and hope to do some track days over the next few years. I'm not planning on chasing any records so I don't want super hard race suspension but somthing that is good quality and suitable for road and occasional track use would be ideal.

If anyone has any for sale please let me know.

I have also seen that a set of new Gaz Monotubes are £980 and new Nitron Street Series for £882. They both come with a warranty etc so may be a better option if nothing comes up

Feel free to let me know your suggestions too.

Thanks

Gaz monos are vastly superior to Nitron streets they really are a fantastic value damper.

Great.

Have you owned them yourself? How does the ride compare on normal roads to oem?

i can sort you some Gaz monos :) 

 

they are a great shock, i have owned them for years, we won 2012 time attack with them, and i have done umpteen trackdays with them and always been excellent! 

 

with them being a monotube design the way they absorb bumps is far superior to that of a twintube design.
