Hey everyone, thought id post my thoughts on this piece of kit , first thoughts were very impressive. You can Adjust the damping on the front using a simple "key" and for the rear its just a simple control on the rear strut. Dave recomended I cut the front bump stops down a bit but i didnt cut it as much as he said.

What they come as:


What they are now:


Front Suspension all fitted together with standard top mounts:


Rear Suspension:


Ill try get more pics of them once ive got them the way i want them

Anyway, cheers Dave A for all the help and for suppling me with some awesome coilovers . So you want some coilovers and have the cash, get these now!!!!!!!!

glad you are pleased with them, get them fitted and set up properly and they will be great.

also, using alloy topmounts and setting up the camber and castor properly and they are even better

the bumpstop just stops the strut body hitting the topmount when it gets banged hard such as a bad pothole or 60mph over a speedbump.

yes, we can design and custom make them for absolutely anything. we have just done some for a local lad that is building a RWD cav turbo, needed cav top halfes, vectra hub mounts, custom body lengths and lots of other changes. not stupidly priced either.

topmounts are about £95 a set delivered.

also they will fit straight onto the Gaz coilovers (if you buy/have bought the coilovers from Vsport)

Please note, this kit is only available through Vsport, they are very different to the standard Gaz coilover kits.
