The VW Golf MkIV 4-motion has pretty good handling and road holding as standard. This is largely due to the Haldex transmission system but there is still room for improvement particularly in adding adjustability to accommodate different driving styles and conditions.

GAZ GHA damper units and struts allow damping adjustment while on the vehicle by means of easily accessible adjuster knobs or top adjusters.

Shortened body and stroke lengths allow a -25 to
-55mm ride height variation with a coarse acme form thread provided for easy adjustment.

Each unit is bright plated to protect against corrosion and to ensure that the height adjusters will go on working for many years to come.

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

GAZ GHA kits for the VW Golf MkIV 4-motion can be ordered as part number GHA335 and retail at £626.87 plus VAT.

In order to improve the ride and handling of the Ford Fiesta 1983-89 GAZ Shocks has produced a front strut with a fixed spring seat unit to take standard diameter coil springs. These come with the added benefit of adjustable damping from a single control on top of the unit.

These units are manufactured mainly for the classic car market with the aim of retaining original equipment ride height. However, other spring lengths can be produced to customers’ requirements if the car is to be lowered or raised for competition use.

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.

The struts for the Ford Fiesta ‘83 – ‘89 can be ordered as GAZ2003 at £111.03 each plus VAT.

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 modern-classic BMW E36 320 and 325 1992-95 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 (as shown).

GAZ Monotube Coilovers come with silicone chrome springs and the required mounting hardware. 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 two year warranty for non race use.

Bespoke valving and the customer’s preferred spring rates are also available.

Part number for the rear is GMO-490 and they retail at £233.73 each + VAT.

The Vauxhall Astra Mk3 was a popular car through most of the Nineties but later Sport and GSi models (from 1995 onwards) were fitted with Lotus Sprung Suspension indicating that the standard suspension could be improved upon.

Nowadays GAZ can offer a GAZ Gold conversion to improve the suspension of the Astra and its Continental cousin the Kadette E which will also provide bump/rebound damper-rate adjustability and adjustable ride height at the front.

The kit includes damper rate and height adjustable coilovers for the front and rate-adjustable telescopic dampers with fixed height spring platforms for the rear. There is also the option of rear height adjustable coilovers – as shown – which can be fitted if the customer turrets the car.

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; 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 with softer spring rates available for road use..

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory.

The GAZ Gold coilover kit for the Vauxhall/Opel Astra Mk3/E can be ordered as part number GGA443 at £1013.58 plus VAT. (Donor front hubs are required for the conversion).

Fidanza, Americaʼs leading performance flywheel specialists, has a direct replacement lightweight aluminium flywheel to improve the performance of the 2.7 litre ʻ00-ʼ02 Audi S4, the ʻ01-ʼ05 Allroad, the ʻ00 – ʻ04 Audi A6 and the 2000-2002 RS4.

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel replaces the heavy dual mass standard flywheel and improves the power-to-weight ratio making the engine more responsive and improving performance.

As a result of a special high volume deal between Burton Power and Quaife, selected genuine Quaife ATBs (including this one) are now available at a highly discounted price. This allows the customer to benefit from owning a high quality genuine Quaife unit at a price close to the Chinese copies that are beginning to appear on the market. Why take a chance on a cheap copy when you can enjoy the real thing for only a fraction more?

Quaife’s ATB unit can transform the performance of your car. Unlike a conventional plate-style limited slip unit, these units rely on gears, rather than clutch plates, for their operation. This means it’s much smoother in operation because, unlike a conventional plate-style LSD with a set pre-load of wheel slip across the driven axle, the Quaife ATB unit, it never locks harshly. Instead, it automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle to a constantly varying degree so never locks.

The results are significant performance improvements.The driver (especially of a front-wheel drive car) will experience superior, controllable traction without the harsh steering wheel snatch or torque steer that have long been associated with performance differentials. These traction benefits can also be felt in rear wheel drive vehicles and Quaife ATB units offer significant traction advantages when fitted to the front of four wheel drive cars.

The Quaife ATB Differential for Ford English Axles can be ordered as part QUALSD1 at just £420.00 each inc. VAT. It will fit:

Anglia 105E/123E 1959-1968
