gaz gha coilovers??

[markmcgivern]

hi guys,
ive just received my gaz gha coilover kit with 300lbft springs, my problem is that the rears are also coilovers:(, i assumed that they would supply standard spring/shocks as per standard setup. can their rear coilovers fit without modifications?
Is there much modification required?

hope someone can help me

Try them on, every Nova is different, some catch and some don't.

Or, put them on without the coilover spring and put the normal pigtails back on

is this okay to do?? what about dust covers??

[garyc]

or do what most do hammer the arch to you get clearance if it is a problem.

bit ropey doing it that way!

You only need to tap the metal back a small amount. But every Nova is made different so trial fit them.

In my experaince (I've put a lot of Nova / Corsa racecars together!) due to poor tolerances in manufacture, every Nova, Corsa (any Vauxhall made in UK!!) will have been made differently from the last and next one on the line!

Getting the hammer out to generate some clearance for you coilover rear may sound ropey but believe me, it aint the coilover's fault, it's vauzhalls and should be considered an adjustment to the original metal that was laid down incorrectly in the first place.

Sermon over. LOL!!
