I believe they just do front adjustable coilovers, never heard of GAZ doing front adjustable dampers.

How much would they normally be?

Im wanting some stiffer front shocks and thinking of changing the rear coilovers for some dampening adjustable dampers with custom springs but i know i can get the rears from them its just the fronts im not sure if they did as i can't see anything on there site.

Front adjustable dampers? How do they compare to standard, ride wise?

might as well ask here instead of making another thread, but i have some gaz front adjustable coilovers, and they look like there 'standard' versions not the ultra low version if this makes sense, how low can i go onthese? as between the mount where it goes on the hub and the threads on the coilovers i have about 3 inches space..

so will it go to a respectable low'ish height (will have 6 inch long springs an all)..

Been away for a few days so haven't been online so only just seen this thread.

Not 100% sure on the exact model of the ones I have as I got them second hand and fitted them without really looking lol.

They're just damping adjustable, not height adjustable. The softest setting is ridiculous, it makes the car bounce and float around all over the place. But then it's really simple to stiffen them up as you wish to get them to a stiffness that suits you.

The physical size of the shocks I have aren't any different to standard shocks, so the amount they lower the car by is all in the springs, but then obviously you can adjust the stiffness accordingly to suit the springs perfectly.
