Default Gaz GHA in 3dr

Hi guys.

I got a new set on the car (came with the car when I bought it).
Problem is that front wheel is way too close to the shock absorber (wheel is 8x17" ET33).
Does anyone else had the same problems?

Is that a good set anyway?
Would Bilstein B6 or Spax PSX dampers perhaps be a better choice?

I had exactly the same issue, as long as you have a couple of mm your OK, otherwise get some 3mm spacers to put behind the wheels.
Alternatively ring GAZ and get some shorter springs then the base platform will be above the tyre and out of the way. (i eventually did this).
