Do you have GAZ shocks on your car?

[MrDangerUS]

Are you using GAZ adjustable shocks on your car?

 

What type, GS or GP or...?

 

Could you share your opinion/impressions, please.

On one of the Excels I have GS, seem fine and if using original spec springs I really doubt I need adjustable seat ones.

I have just spoken to them as they are 5 minutes from me, they can do rear replacement for my rear protech, so i'm going to go that route, as I dont want to fit protech again.

Adjustable shocks and... reasonably priced!

 

I just got a pair of custom built adjustable rear shocks with spherical bearings from GAZmatic.

GAZ guys know their stuff!  They are easy to work with and they know what suppose to go on your car!

Just give them model and a year of your car and that's it. They'll do their magic from there.

Here is the tech info: http://www.gazshocks.com/products
and
how to contact them: technical@gazshocks.com and sales@gazshocks.com

 

PS. They've rebuilt my "old" (PO installed = that old!) 12 click-adjustables for 28 Quid a piece.

 

Also I'm changing all springs to reflect the "modern specs".

Mine are GAZ, had them for 6 or so years, adjustable for stiffness and ride height. Very pleased with them, no issues once they had replaced the rubber bushes, at their cost.

I had also fitted stiffer springs, search on this site, where I think I gave all the details, rate and size etc

Hope that helps

What is a rough price for the springs and dampers. Mine are original and badly rusting but whenever I have asked anyone for a price it seems more than the value of my car.

[MrDangerUS]

Actually their pricing is very competitive. Give them a call.

My rears have 14 click adjustment and I just got the fronts w/21 click dials.

GAZ shocks are fully rebuildable, too.

Have them on mine but can only tell you they brought the car back to what I would have expected from a Lotus as the originals were quite shot once bought from the PO. Have never tried to adjust for height nor ride so far but someday I might give it a go.

[MrDangerUS]

Got my front shocks! I like them a lot !

 

Total cost for  4 corners with Eibach springs (from Amazon) = 501 quid.

 

They all have spherical bearings at the lower ends and come with all bushings, hardware, perches and dyno plots.

 

It is a good idea to add roller thrust bearings (from US eBay), at the bottom perches to make the height adjustment much easier.
