General Gas shock absorbers?

[Asteroid01]

Are these worth getting?
I’ve heard they’re not very good.

Anyone got them?
Smooth ride?

Thanks!

Gas shocks in general/compared to hydraulic

I've been using gas shocks on the rear of my Mk2b cvt auto for 6 years. Only installed them as I carry a disability buggy in the boot of my Punto. Ride is a lot better and smoother than ordinary hydraulic shocks. I would certainly recommend them.

They are all gas these days, the only oil in modern shocks is there to lubricate.

Less mess and pollution if a gas shock leaks or is damaged and much cheaper to make, but just as good performance wise

Very Generally , gas shocks are a little firmer than non gas charged shocks.
