GAZ has a long history of making performance suspension for British sportscars like MG… but what about the latest MG models coming out of the now-Chinese owned company?
Yes, GAZ has that covered to. GAZ can offer GAZ Gold Suspension kits for the MG-3 to provide adjustable coilovers to lower the centre of gravity and adjust the bump/rebound of the damping.
The kit includes adjustable coilovers for both front and rear on which the ride height can be adjusted through 60mm. The coilovers have a coarse acme form thread for ease of height adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.
Damping rates are variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper bodies. The GAZ Gold range is designed primarily for out-and-out racing so each comes with a reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to reduce fade and a gas cell to prevent cavitation under harsh racing and trackday conditions. Springs can be supplied to the customer’s specifications according to the vehicle’s intended use.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory. Although this kit converts the car to coilovers all round it is a direct replacement with no modifications necessary.
The GAZ Gold coilover kit for the MG-3 can be ordered as part number GGA514 at £1013.58 plus VAT.

Hillman Imps (and their Sunbeam and Singer siblings) look great when they are lowered. Now Gaz can offer specially designed shortened height adjustable coilover dampers to complement lowering springs.
GAZ GP dampers are suitable for both road and occasional track day use. The damper settings can be adjusted whilst on the vehicle by means of easily accessible knobs to provide the optimum settings for conditions, use and driver preference.
Ride height is adjustable all round by means of adjustable spring seats. Each damper unit is bright plated to resist corrosion.
GAZ GP lowered front dampers for the Hillman Imp, Singer Chamois and Sunbeam Stilleto can be ordered as part number GP6-2252 and retail at £88.52 each plus VAT.
All units are individually tested and provided with a test print out before leaving the factory and
come with the peace of mind of a two year manufacturer’s warranty.

Through their involvement in racing the team members at GAZ Shocks have become quite the experts in designing performance suspension for various BMW models.
Now they have turned their attention to the classic BMW E30 M3 and come up with a monotube design suspension.
GAZ gas-charged Monotube Coilovers are far lighter than other types of coilover damper and make more use of lightweight billet aluminium parts that reduces unsprung weight. This makes them ideal for serious trackday or competition use. They also react quicker and can be used in an inverted position.
GAZ Monotube Coilovers come with silicone chrome springs and the required mounting hardwear. The spring platforms are adjustable to allow the ride height to be altered as required and the bump and rebound settings can be adjusted by means of a knurled collar at the top (or bottom if used inverted).
Like all GAZ coilovers the monotubes carry a 2 year warranty for non race use.
Bespoke valving and the customer’s preferred spring rates are also available.
GAZ Monotube Coilovers for the BMW E30 M3 retail at £233.73 each + VAT.

It’s well known that Fidanza offers lightweight performance flywheels for the Subaru STi, WRX and BRZ, but what about the other Subaru models?
Well, Fidanza can also provide a flywheel that is suitable for the Subaru EJ Series Forester (2006-2008 SG and 2008 SH) plus the Legacy (2003-2004 BE/BH/BT and 2009-2010 BM/BR).
No chromemoly flywheel can compete with the awesome serviceability, strength and superior design of Fidanza’s aluminum flywheels. They are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum for superb tensile strength, incredible heat dissipation and (of course) a reduction in weight that delivers faster acceleration, quicker throttle response, better vehicle braking and increased clutch efficiency, as well as long lasting durability.
A Fidanza flywheel can mate with many types of clutch material, including: organic kevlar, ceramic, metallic and sintered iron. Most companies design their flywheels so that they can be refaced. However, Fidanza makes the whole friction surface replaceable so your flywheel will never require resurfacing or total replacement. When the friction surface wears, just that alone needs to be replaced, thus saving both time and money. The pattern for the fasteners is a computer design that keeps the friction surface from warping under extreme use. Fidanza doesn’t just use more fasteners because they can, Fidanza uses them because they are needed.
Order as part number 110251 directly from Fidanza.com at $348.36 plus tax and shipping.
DISCOUNT WHEN ORDERING DIRECTLY ONLINE: It is now possible to buy directly from Fidanza online and readers can obtain a 20% discount if they enter the promo code of “Fidanza” when ordering directly from Fidanza online.

On most cars the rear camber angle is fixed as standard and cannot be modified.
However, Burton now offers a camber plate kit for the Ford Fiesta Mk 7. Simply placing these plates between the wheel hub and rear beams the camber alters with minimal change to the wheel track.
This kit will increase the camber by an extra 1.5° per side at the rear thereby providing the optimal wheel contact to the ground.
This then improves the handling, steering response and suspension precision.
The plates are suitable for the Ford Fiesta Mk7 2008-2017 and Ford Fiesta Mk7 ST180 1.6 EcoBoost 2013-2017.
Retail price £92.50 per pair including VAT.

The Ford Fiesta Mk 7 sometimes has a tendency to understeer when approaching a turn.
The new 22mm diameter DNA rear torsion bar, from Burton, will completely eliminate the under steering tendency and, as a result, facilitates a very quick steering response.
In general, the use of bigger anti-roll bars improve the overall performance of the vehicle whilest maintaining a “much flatter set up” that reduces the roll angle during cornering.
Fitting a bigger torsion bar provides these benefits without the need to use very hard springs which would negatively affect comfort and performance on uneven ground.
The DNA Spring Steel Rear Torsion Bar is suitable for Ford Fiesta Mk7 2008-2017 and Ford Fiesta Mk7 ST180 1.6 EcoBoost 2013-2017.
Retail price : £130.00 including VAT
