GAZ Coilovers

[areofall]

Just wondering what the guys think of these, looking to lower the nova about 40mm all round and was wondering how the rear coilovers work any pictures with them fitted, whats involved turreting a Nova, I what a comfort ride (though I know it will not be standard like ride lowered) not rock soild and an fitting 15" wheels with 45 profiles.

[Pistol Pete]

Quite a few people on here have them fitted. I myself will be taking advantage of the member discount and buying a set for mine. These will lower your Nova more than 40mm, look at Benns Nova. Very low.

[areofall]

Though they left the ride height adjustable to what ever you wanted?

[Pistol Pete]

Yeah thats what i meant! You can go lower than 40mm if you want.

Just wonder how the rears work, do they sit in the chassis leg or do away ithe the spring in the chassis leg?

[Pistol Pete]

Rears bolt in the same way as a shock AFAIK. You will need to dress (read smack the fcuk out of it with a big knocking stick lol) that area to get it to fit properly.

LMFAO!!

Put it this way, you get your £10 back.

They are bought from AVO directly, Stu organised a club discount with them.

Benn had his specially made to go a bit lower. They go very low anyway I'd imagine.

You can play around with spring rates to get the ride how you want it.
Personally I'd maybe stick with regular shocks & springs if you don't want it harsh or bumpy.

It's a great price for club members :D Would loe a set but don't think I want to do body mod's, the car is too original to mess with, might settle for a set of billy's and 30mm springs.

[areofall]

wonder are these any good?

Anyone have a set??

[Pistol Pete]

For that price you might aswell buy a set of GAZ coilovers lol

[areofall]

Don't want to modify the turrets.

[Pistol Pete]

You dont have to. You just have to make abit of room for the body/spring.

[areofall]

Really I only want to do bolt on mod's as it's really too original,

this might do but it seems cheap

and only a 35mm drop, I'm looking to fit Cesaro's with 195/45/15's and don't want to cut the rear arches.

[Pistol Pete]

Just get some coilovers with your members discount and stop being a fanny!! lol

Gaz used to supply to Avo and Spax ;)

Billy B12's are lurvely (assuming they are the big body dampers)
