If you had a reciept, they would fix them IF they were faulty. If not, they tell you pay up, or no shocker back. Last time I spoke to Spax, they were arseholes.

just the rear gaz coilovers tho......

..although someone told me gaz use a universal coilover, with differnt ends welded on.
surely the rebound rate, dampening etc would be a bit queer

Broster looked after them, his car was always spotless, I dare say he greased them.
