Hello,i have just a few quick questions about how to set GAZ Coilovers up on an Escort Cosworth i had these fitted last year but haven't used the car yet & i'm getting it back on the road later this week,
I've noticed that they haven't put the instructions back in the box with old shockers,i'm going to try run quite hard & want to go much lower,

1.Am i correct when i say its anticlockwise makes them softer while clockwise stiffens them up...? (how many clicks to go noticeably harder?-i presume they've been set up on the softest setting thats how they feel at least anyway)

2.I could do with a quick guide on adjusting the height as it looks like they've been set up on the highest setting,looks higher than it did standard!!
I've got 18" Alloys if this is a help with 225/40's F&R,

Thanks,Bobby.

Hi Bobby, clockwise stiffens the suspension, I have them in my cosworth. I have put 15 clicks on the back and half a turn on the front, working ok. Turning the nuts down will drop the ride height down. Set the suspension to the height you want it to be at one corner, then count the threads from the bottom of the shock to the bottom of the locknut and level the rest off at the same height. You would need to get your steering re-lined if you drop the car. Hope that is of help to you.
