I found that with strut braces, the roads i drive on and the way i drive the front one did some help but the rear one helped a lot. however you dont get as much warning from the rear end of the car before it decides to just decide to let go of the road lol.

i used coilovers for road use for over 3 years, they were never comfy, but they did make it handle well, only after being set up properly, dont expect to just bolt them on and make them work....
yep, I've had the GAZ and was very satisfied but took some a while to get the correct settings...

thanks for any help
depends which bilstein shocks you have mate, if they are the yellows with the thicker piston rods then they are a great shock and it may be your springs that need sorting.
if its the black bilsteins, then they are a bit shit tbh.

if you dont have an interior in the back is it justifyable (sp) though as wouldnt it be the weight pressong/stressing the mount?
