Thats good news. do you have a contact number for GAZ mate? maybe PM me?

[Drizz]

Dont ask dont get i spose. Nice one chap!

yea GAZ were so helpfull, and im total unexpieranced in suspension settings, have no idea what it all means or what each number results in, the most technical suspension setting up ive ever been in to is -40mm or -60mm or cut in half, thats it lmao and they expained it all out and have me all the help and info i needed, relying 2-3 times a day to email! very impressed

[Frisco]

Excellent prices and you should end up with a setup better than anything you could have gotten off the shelf. Nice going!

Cheers, have just emailed them

[Geordie-Chris]

Great news on the suspension, I spoke to them last week for some Nova suspension and as you say, were incredibly helpful and very well priced! Looking forward to updates when parts arrive.

[rc]

cheers lads, yea very pleased with their help so far and even more pleased at the prices they came to and from what i've read gaz are pretty good stuff and like you say, will be a far better setup than anything off the shelf hopefully.
as for the tunnel, my mate gets sierra's in all the time for bangers, so that options there after his next race, or make my own, not decided yet.

[Benn]

Thats a bloddy good price, dont go thru rally design that are alot more money.

[deek]

just started making some coilovers for the front of my van,has worked out £140 for all the bits,couldnt use the rally deisgn bits tho as i couldnt find them in the rite size to fit over the struts,so have gone for the 2.25 kit from deem tweeks and 2.5 springs,allready got some shocks so should be ok,didnt realsie how cheap you could get them made for you tho

[rc]

rally design do do a kit big enough to go over the astra shocks, but its not listed on their web site, you have to ask specificly for them, thats what oztec (think thats his name) on here used on his astra, comes in at 100quid plus shocks, and thats what i've got comin for my van as a test, using my koni adjustable shocks, but tbh i'm concidering for this now just getting the fronts from gaz as u can get some sorted gaz coilovers compleate for 250 quid!

[deek]

was gona ring actualy and ask if the did bigger but couldnt be arsed,wish i had tho as i rekon they would have been cheaper

[rc]

just been to GAZ, ordered the rear coilovers cosworth rear set up with calibra sized bottom holes, soo helpfull on the phone and seem to really know what they're talikng about and what will siut my needs best for such a unsual project they're made to order so will be giving me a bell when they're all done

[J Sabo]

Gaz are a excellent company to deal with. I had some coilovers made for my Mk3 Astra, the prices surprised me too.

[Dale]

i spoke to dave at damper tech (gaz uk i think) and its the best service i have had from a company in a long time. I spoke to him in person from autosport show aswell.

[Spinbitch]

I really need to get so spare time so i can give these guys a call.
Ron, did they work out the best spring size for you? eg what corner weight it will be etc. We are both in the same boat as in can't really get a accurate weight from our empty shells! lmao

Chris.

From what i've now found going to Gaz direct will save you alot of money.

[The Simps]

they've quoted me 185+vat for gold fronts each in short body (270mm). Springs are another £20 which is also cheap.

yea were very helpfull in recomendin springs for the purpose, and due to it bein rwd etc! i shan't be cornerweightin mine, we used to do it at my old work, might get u half a second a lap on the track, but it makes ya car sit wonky when stationary lol, and is all ****ed up as soon as you pick up a passenger! so not really any point for a road car!

[Rick Draper]

Are you still waiting for engine mounts?

[rc]

yep, gonna have to chase these up, where ordered by andieman, then sent to his oldadress then reordered so will have to ask him whats the status!!

[djivesp]

[joe joe]

[Rick Draper]
