nobbie Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Are WIM still Gaz dealers/fitters??? If so are they're any decent details of prices, adjustment, and fitting anywhere?? Ideally i was looking for full coilovers, both front and rear, but on this car it seems that i'd have to 'turret' the rear end to accomidate them. All the coilover kits i can see are fully adjustable front, and fixed height rear. I'm also looking for some eccentric top mounts that are actually built to fit properly, rather than the flat ones i've seen at other places. A company called http://www.k-mac.com.au, look about the best setup. It's for an Astra F, Mk3, Gsi. Any suggestions or ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 If the factory dampners don't share mounts with the springs then you can't have coilovers. It's the same with my S12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm sure there's kits for the Astra.... let me check before we explore adjuster suitability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobbie Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 My options seem to be; Gaz KW Supersport Spax compbrake - for them to sleve my own legs I think leda do them too. Wouldn't it be great if there was a rear, slimline coilover to fit in a std shock space!!. I'm thinking i should be able to adjust the front enough to maybe not need the rears on coilover. I want to be able to drop the front right down, leaving the arse in the air for a decent weighty foot print on the strip. If i can also then stiffen the rear right up so it's almost locked out it should help getting the power down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I checked with GAZ and all they do is replacement adjustable dampers, no coilover kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobbie Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I've just emailed Gaz direct and they can do the GHA kit on an exchange basis. It does have fixed height rears, but adjustable dampers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobbie Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Sorry, thought you mean no coilover kits full stop, not no full coilover kits. I think for the moment that looks good enough for what i'll want, if it's not i'll have to get the angle grinder out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
