    If I recall Nick J was running both versions on his red Mk1

    Im trying to figure out what the actual difference is between normal gaz coilovers and the ultra low version, as you probably all know my cars quite low, but its on budget coilovers front and 100mm spring rears, well im looking to get gaz coilovers for the fronts as ive got my old avo coilovers for the rears, thus if theres a difference between them then i can decide which ones would be best.

    The only difference I can see is that you can run the lower version around 100/120mm without sitting on the bumpstops.

    Here's mine on rear ultra low coilovers with about 4-5 threads left from the bottom. This is with the rear completely stripped out though!

    fair do's. I found with the regular GAZ's, as Kev pointed out, when it's touching the bump stops the ride is poor. I raised it up slightly & was perfectly happy after that. I'm not all for going too low anyway, so this suited me. IMO when entering the realms of too low for normal coilovers/springs that geometry changes also come into play which is getting quite involved. (talking castor/camber mods).

    I just want the car as low as it is but not sat on bumpstops, as the ride is ****ing **** right now, i hate it, but it doesn't matter too much as it's only a 1.2 at the moment.
    Ok so Ultra low Fronts it is then...
