GAZ Shocks Coilovers Fitted...

[m1ke]

Hi guys i know quite a few of you out there may not of heard of GAZ shocks (www.gazshocks.com) but they are a UK based company that build every part of their suspension products in house in the UK.
I chose GAZ shocks because i had their coilovers previously on my old e36 coupe a few years back and i could get them at a really good price (£460 pounds sterling) through e36coupe.com
they are fully adjustable with height and damping adjustment.
this is what they look like,

and this is the car before they were fitted

they are not set at anything specific as yet, this will be sorted once they have bedded in after a few weeks but they have already made a big difference to both the look of the car and the handling. turn in is fantastic and the power delivery is more positive with the ride being stiffer.

hope you like.

460 pounds converts to $813.38 USD seems to be a little more expensive than most coilovers but it does look like it lowers the car quite a bit, how much of a drop did it give you? also, did your car have the sport m-tech suspension?

the recommended retail on these is around £650 and thats what most fully adjustable coilover kits cost over here so mine were pretty cheap lol. as for the drop i would guess approx 50mm on the front and 40mm rear at the moment but they say the kit is capable of anything from 30-100mm drop. i will see how they bed in but i cant see as i will drop it much more due to speed bumps and tyre wear.
and yes my car was fitted with the standard m-tech sport suspension.

Most worthy Coilover kits for E36 average between $1,100-$1,500.

Anything under that is a deal.

I think he said that he is waiting for them to settle in before completely slamming the car.

nope, ben owns chromeline design. i got the shocks from member Danvisteon, he knows the owner/someone at Gaz Shocks:smile:
