fitted my brand spanking new gaz coilovers over the weekend after they arrived on friday afternoon , set them all up too . just need to clean my inner arches now . hope you all like the pics . the ride & comfort is now spot on

 

How do you find the ride on these on the road compared to konis?have been thinking of getting a set.Are yours the normal ones or the golds? Your car looks lovely by the way dude.

 

looks lovely mate

 

love your car mate

 

these are absolutely fantastic compared to koni,s . mine are just the normal 1,s . very easy to set up too . & thanks bud

 

make sure u grease them or they will rust like fooook. looks stunning tho mate nice mod

 

but when you grease them all the shit sticks to them lol, just put a bit of copper grease on the platform threads where there going to sit

 

i suppose that is a good point, i just wipe them down for shows and stuff and re grease after them

 

I think there a poor fitment on the rears

The top cup doesn't fit the body well, almost a square peg in a round hole if you know what i mean

 

are they that bad a fit?

i just bought a 2nd hand pair of rears, not even sure which parts to retain from the old shock when fitting, any idea what i should be using and doing to make the best of what sounds like a bad fitment situation?

 

i dont see where people think that they are a bad fit on the rears !!! they fit perfectly . im more than happy with the fitment & ride

 

i copper greased them as soon as i,d fitted them , they,ll stay good that way . but thanks anyway guys

 

you need to use a couple of the old top mounts when fitting your new rear coilovers although fitting is piss easy

 

just the metal cups for either side of the turret bush yeh? thats what i was told when i bought them, and was hoping it was right, and nice to know from another source that its a nice fit, rather than all the horror stories i keep hearing lol

 

yeah , you defo need to use the small metal cups from each side . thats all you need from the old rears . as for the fronts you dont need the 1st top mount as you get new ones but you will need the cup under that & the small cup that fits inside that , if that makes sense lol . i think people just make a big fuss about coilovers yet i found them very easy to fit & adjust !!!!!

 

yeah i fitted my avo fronts a while back, bit more complex, nice to know the rears just need the 2 metal cups and thats it. sadly mine arent spanking new likes urs, so iv gotta get mine in paint and powdercoat before i can fit them!

 

just need to have the rear wheels back off & give my inner arches a bloody good clean

 

Looks very nice
