GAZ seem to be the ones to have. Good service from them too I have heard if they need custom building to a certain spec and rebuilding when req

Best.... Nitron, ohlins, bilsten, Gaz are good but you want/need golds for the more suitable spec (or even the mono tubes if they make them for Novas)

Gaz are very good, great service and happy to build you any spec you want. But as Stu says you'll want the Golds for mega adjustments.

I had Ohlins on my Escort Cosworth, absolutely brilliant.

Never seen Ohlins or Nitron on a Nova/Corsa B.......I would be interested to hear if you know of any?

Nope, and I bet they would be painfully expensive given the VX/Elise models are £1k for the base kit lol

Oh yes, Ohlins come with a price tag. The ones on my Escort were £1500 per corner (remote reservoir stuff).

Of course PROFLEX are also outstanding dampers, I've driven a Corsa B tarmac rally kit car on them which was a brilliant handling car.

And I see there's a very interesting set of 3-way Ledas on EBAY at the moment with remote reservoirs. First time I've seen these ones for sale, I have the 2-way versions on my Nova, which I can highly recommend as well.

Yes Gaz do do front struts with monotube inserts both fixed and adjustable damping. I run them on my autograss car.
