GAZ Coilovers for Se7ens

[SuperStalker]

Hello " Seveners",

Just want to let you know that I am importing GAZ shocks and springs.

I can get bolt in replacement units for Caterham, Lotus 7, Westfield and pretty much anything else that uses lightweight coilovers .( GAZ are OEM on Stalkers and Birkins in the USA )

We started using GAZ shocks exclusively on Stalkers in 2007, and with the exception of one shock which was damaged in shipping, have had ZERO failures.

If you are building from scratch, ( Locost, Haynes, McSorley or your own version ), I can help you figure out shock length and a good spring rate.

Call to chat about your project any time (EDT)

Have them on my Birkin. Mine are single adjustable: when you stiffen compression you also stiffen rebound . Do you also sell double adjustable (separate rebound and compression)? Mine also have adjustable/threaded spring perches so car can be corner weighted. They have worked fine on the street and track.

Hello,

We can get double adjustable but they are very expensive and, quite honestly, difficult to optimize. The single adjusment shocks have a bump/droop valve ratio the works just fine on Sevens.

Be carefull of setting the damping too stiff. It is a common mistake.

I turn the damping off then bounce the car and increase the damping until I can just perceive damping. Drive the car and check the "feel". If you notice a slight repeat of a rebound or 'wallowing' in a turn increase damping until it goes away.

chrs,

I have the single adjustable alloy bodied versions with height adjustment on my Cat and they are great. Totally agree that double adjustable is probably not worth it unless you have a lot of time and knowledge to set them up.

 

This is the third car I have put Gaz shocks on and they have always been good. Two sevens and a great Peugeot 205 GTI (I really miss that car!)

 

Dont be tempted for the rose jointed versions either unless you are ONLY using on track, they are very harsh on the road.
