Gaz arn't a bad brand. Ford boys praise them as do alot of the TVR guys. Just cronic on the clio.

 

[g dawg]

in what respect?

Pug boys love them too. Not sure if that praise though.

 

[ForceIndia]

How much are they costing?

 

[Greeny.]

My Gaz Golds are fine for me tbh, not to stif like some people cry about on here. Rear could be abit lower for me but thats just me being fussy.

Got any pics please Greeny?

Also, are the Gaz Gold the same ride height as the more basic "modified/road" Gaz dampers... do you know?
Can I ask how much you paid for them too please?

Thanks

i've got them on mine, used them on track and road and they are brilliant, especially for the price. you just need to set them up properly.

 

[Willliams]

Olly,

Which ones do you have fella, Gold or the standard ones?

 

[olly_mango]

just the GHA coilovers which are on the ktec website

Cheers. I assume you mean the KTR/GAZ ones? Can't see any listed as GHA

These... http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=355

 

[olly_mango]

yea basiclly but they are the gha ones you get sent, and mines on the 182

 

[Willliams]

Sure,.. there seems to be a slight difference between 172 and 182.

What does GHA stand for?

Thankyou please

Balls!

Mine have been faultless.

A few bad reviews on here and they're cursed.

As you say... TVR, Pug, Ford, Mini etc. all rave about them!

Chris...behave! there diabolical! I fitted and set up danny's 182 and drove it for 10miles and i had enough. No matter what setting the rebound was on it was like the old PI 60mm springs on the 1.2's!

Worst Coils bar none. Which is like i said a shame as Gaz generally make decent kit.

 

[olly_mango]

dont know what that is:S is it not in that pic?

no, it should be a little grip type thing which goes on top of the front shocks for dampening adjustment. if not get a pair of grips on them and clockwise is stiffer and anti clock wise is softer.

so whith the stuff i have in that pic i will still be ok?? Surely down at Birchdown they will be able to help?

 

[olly_mango]

oh if your getting someone to do then yea they will be able to no problems. Was just if you want to soften or stiffen it yourself you will have to do the front with a pair of grip's which is really easy and the backs are just done by hand so you will be fine.

[olly_mango]

yea you got everything you need there, everything you get when you buy them new anyway so you'll be fine.
