ok for 1.0L novas that roll through drive throughs, park in retail parks or to take young girls home on, but for enthusiastic driving, avoid.

whats the budget you have to spend?


Club GAZ prices are a shade over £400 for GHA stuff :)

[Chrishowes]

is that for coilovers? 4-500 but if i can get away with cheaper ones i.e fitting cheap 1.4 coil overs to my 1.0L so maybie the extra wieght its desighned to carry would be harder plus im dropping a 1.4 in it soon.

[Stuart]

yes thats coilovers.

the "spec" of the car is largely irrelevant as you pick the springs you want and the dampers remain the same.
