The Renault Clio 2 172 and 182 Cup models were basically ‘stripped down’ versions of the Clio; they were designed for performance, but at the expense of some sound proofing and some of the more usual ‘comfort’ items.
Naturally these cars appeal to the track day and competition users. With that in mind GAZ has produced two coil-over suspension upgrades available in either GAZ GHA for trackday and fast road or GAZ Gold for outright competition.
On both versions the damper rate can be adjusted by means of an adjuster knob (top adjuster on the GHA and a side knob on the GAZ Gold – shown). Ride height can be varied by -25mm to -50mm.
The Gaz Gold coilovers have a gas cell in the outer reservoir to prevent cavitation. These are also filled with a high viscosity multi grade fluid to help prevent fade under motorsport conditions.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and covered by a two year warranty for non-competition use.
The GAZ coilover kits are suitable for Clio Mk2 172 and 182 Cup models made from 2001 to 2005 and retail at £597.03+ VAT for the GHA kit and £1013.58 + VAT for the GAZ Gold Kit.
