Coilover recommendation

Hello members,

as for now my Gt is sweeping my @ss for the parts replacement,
the car is stalling while idle and it would act normal if I pushed brake pedal, any known issue to direct me
also the passenger air struct is leaking for top, I replaced the o ring and didn’t help, then I applied black silicon also failed, now I am seriously thinking to go for coilovers
any recommendations for these

I would steer clear of cheap coilovers. Their performance and service life is limited and in order to get consistent adjustments they have to be measured and set up on a shock dyno. At one point I made tubular outdoor ashtrays out of the pile I accumulated over the years and sold them as novelties to ease the pain of having wasted money on sub-par quality.

For a street-driven Bentley the air suspension works great and if you really really really want something else, a reasonable baseline is Öhlins TTX-series or equivalent.

Öhlins TTX-series is 30% the price of 2005 GT 😂😂

Yep. All worthwhile coilovers are. You probably don't want to know what a custom valved set of Aragosta, Quantum or Moton coilovers will set you back. There's no free lunch here.
