what do you need to do to a sierra sapphire 4x4 to fit rear gaz coilovers. is it just a rear strut brace?

I don't think u have to have a rear brace mate just remove the original springs and shocks. . I've got a brace on mine but had it already . Might have to bash the inner arch on the ns as the springs sometimes rub

I've got gaze golds and haven't had any others so I've nothing to compare to. They seem better as the adjusters on the budget ones have a grub screw that locks them and this screws into the thread on the body the golds lock better . I'm sure their are better choices out their but mine is only a road car and I got them for a good price too

A strut brace would be advisable with this.
