The iconic VW Karmann Ghia may be one of the best looking classic cars around but there’s no denying they look even better when they are lowered. With this in mind GAZ offer special short front dampers for lowered Karmann Ghia.

The dampers will also fit Beetles made from 1965-79 and Beetle 1300A and 1500A from 1967-79.

GAZ GT Dampers will provide variable bump and rebound rates which can be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. The damping rates can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.

GAZ can set the dampers up for general road use and they will also be suitable for occasional track slalom and sprint use, or alternatively they can even be set up for serious racing use if you wish.

GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body and protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.

The GAZ GT short front dampers for the VW  Karmann Ghia/Beetle can be ordered as GT6-5062 and retail at £58.46 each plus VAT
