Help me guys gaz gold or 750mc spax setup

[1985michael182]

Soooooo

I have been torn between Full gaz golds or 750mc suspension setup.
£1000ish to spend.

Currently have rebuilt Gaz GHA on the front with 550lbs springs so I could just buy new rears but my brain won't let me, every time I try to buy the gold rears my brain stops me and says why not buy full setup! Then ive seen the 750mc setup.

Gaz gold come in 2 setups £1155.48

• Trackday (driven to the circuit) - 500lb front springs, 300 lb rear springs
• Race setup (trailered to circuit) - 800lb front, 450lb rear.

Then the 750mc is £1079.99

• Uprated internals including valving and strut tube
• Reduced length 740lb front springs to enable lower ride height
• Reduced length 450lb rear springs without helper spring
• Coilover rear shock absorber (no inboard spring required)
• Front camber adjustment from 1.5 Degrees to 3.0 degrees negative

Which to go for and what spring rate 🤷‍♂️
Any info or experience appreciated.

My ast 4100s, brand new 110nm rear springs and 90nm springs when I sent the rears off for full service and valve. Come with 400lb F+R springs also. Cheaper than both those setups.

4100's cheaper than £1000?? Full rear coilovers

I'm on AST5100 with 80nm all round.. Trailered to the track.. Ilya is running the same but 90nm front and 110nm rear.. i feel i have a bit more flexibility when adjusting for wet/damp conditions.. We have our cars setup quite similar and definitely in the wet conditions mine handles better having a softer rear.. In the dry then obviously Ilya was quicker than me (turbo'd) but id say we are evenly matched in the handling department.. A stiffer rear helps the car rotate and dials out understeer.. a softer rear is safer though and not so twitchy..

Wouldn’t entertain GAZ myself.
AST4100s currently on for around for not much over your budget and are vastly superior construction in every way.

@Simon@ASTUK can you help this man. 🙂👍🏼

I have Gaz golds and really pleased with them for the price I paid, went with custom spring rates if 525lb front and 400lb rears I have to drive it on the road to and from the track and they are loads better than cooksports with cup shocks I had before.
Got mine from @Mash. not sure if he still does them

Stand down guys....

I bought AST4100 from Cooksport yesterday for £1200 reduced from £1970.
No brainer for similar money to Gaz and Spax.

Get the bc top mounts if you think about changing. Way cheaper and stronger/better design

 

[1985michael182]

I've got the strut brace aswell though

Out of stock now, did you buy the last set!? I hope they get another batch in at that price in the future.

It doesn't make any difference if its 54mm or 60mm hubs on ASTs cause there are collars in the shock holes to turn and they fit both..
