Do most people tend to use the GAZ suspension, or have people found there are better/cheaper options?

Is it right that the Spax kits use coilovers at the front and seperate struts and springs at the rear? This is what I was told by one of the machanics at the PBMW at Oulton park recently.

Ta Mr Potato - was cheering you on at Oulton btw (sure it was you and not another black E30!). Any idea how much the Spax kits cost?

We can offer the same setup with the GAZ Golds or GHA if you want an alternative :)
