    Default Gaz coilovers

    Hi I have a set of front Gaz coilovers can any one tell what drop these are. There don't seem to be many threads on the body's. I have dropped the car on full drop and it don't seem low enough.
    Here is a pic of the coilover.

    Loose those strut tops mate and fit alloy type ones will get alot more drop as you dont use all that rubber n spacers n stuff on the top.

    Worth a shot how much are alloy top mounts. ? Only thing is when jacking car up the spring is completely loose as the piston is at full travel with the standard top mounts won't It be worse with the alloys ones. ?

    Wind it up as you will havealot more play without the standard tops otherwise buy some helper springs. The tops are about 100 from gaz and obp

    bit off topic but lookingat the picture you have posted you are missing a locking ring from under the spring there should be a pair that lock together to lock the platform at adetermined high not just a single one which will allow the spring platform to move

    Just had another look and these have a locking grub screw in the collar to lock them.
