i rang up gaz a few days ago to order a set of coil overs for my fiesta. due to my car and what i use it for i wanted the to spec them for my car a bit better rather than buying them "off the shelf"

after i had spoken with them i was left a little bit no convinced

i spoke to a woman who said i then had to speak to this other guy who dident feal me with confidence!!

told him about my car and what its used for had he said he could build me some to suet my car then handed the phone back to the lady who took my details and card details!

the last question i asked was when should i expect to get them and how much are they gonna cost....

she said £500+ postage and 3 weeks ok??

any one else ordered from them??

 

Yeah, I got the Doris then then the bloke, both were helpful and informative.

 

I deal with warren their. He's always been top notch.

You could pop down theIr and speak face to face

 

as long as you tell them your spec, e.g. tyres, power, use, they tend to get spring rates spot on, have had many kits sueted to our cars over years, whats your spring rates? did they say

 

dident really tell me any think tbh he just told me he can do it

when i told him about my car it dident sound like he was taking any think down tbh. but if you lot have ordered from them i guess ill have to wate en see. are they gonna be true to there words with delivery times?? as i really wanna go classic ford

 

I had a set made for my van at the rears told them what I wanted and they said to pop down so they could have a look and a quick measure up, don't think it took them long but was quite happy with how it all went

 

yea they tend to get them out on time, ring them again in the week and get your spring rates confirmed,

 

They should be able to tell you what spring rates they are going to use (can you not find out from anyone with a similar setup car what they are using as a guide?).
I had a set of gaz golds off them direct a few years back and they did do them at a good price with 2 sets of springs that i specified. Had a couple of issues that i had to return the shocks for and found the aftersales service to be 'ok' but took a while to come back.
Fairly cheap for what they are though so couldn't complain too much, iirc it was a chap called David Lyons that i spoke to regarding technical info as he used to work for leda or something along those lines.

 

I have got many set's off them and they are very nice, direct and no bullshit. I spoke to Brian at Autosport, typical old fashioned engineer, good bloke,

seen good and bad things, build quality not up to much compared to top end marques as koni, bilstein or ohlins/reiger but price reflects and you cannot go wrong for what they charge, as stated spring rates will be bang on and work perfectly!

 

Pop down the the machine shop, there helpful

 

Have delt with them a few times with no probs. if you want them on a definite date just ring them back and tell them and you'll get them or as said pop down to see them.

 

id never buy from them again tbh

i bought a set of gaz golds for the fez and they took ages to arrive and when they did i took a look at them and something was a miss

they never had the mounting for the front arb
phoned them up to sort it and they didnt want to know

 

They were spot on when i ordered mine

 

if it's just for the strip/drag then you'll be wanting around 400lb rears and 250lb fronts should stop it squatting but when i seen your car at pod at central it was your front geometry that was out the most causing you to have massive traction issues i've heard about it, looked like it needs a bit of looking into

 

I do all the tracking on my car and can assure you its not out at all!! Its down to the 8year old shocks and springs that and well past there sell buy date! And my car did not do one run at central day so not sure how you worked thet out?

 

He dident really say to much about spring rates tbh i wasent sure what set up i needed hence i hoped he would be able to sort it out for me

 

I think ill call them monday en see what thay say

 

Might be worth phoning him and asking him what spring rates he recommends for what you're asking just to see so you can compare with what others might be using, will be written or a sticker on the springs anyway though when they turn up to be fair!
I was wanting a track setup and had been told by someone who prepares race cars what to ask for, but he did say he thought the rates i asked for were a bit much so we decided i'd have a softer set that he recommended for the rear.
In all fairness he did seem to know what he was on about and springs are pretty cheap tbh so probably worth going with what he suggests and see how you get on, can always order more springs in the future
