The TVR Tasmin may have been a supercar in the Eighties with many innovations, like a bonded windscreen and an aerial incorporated into the rear heated screen, but the suspension was sourced from the Ford Cortina. So, as you would imagine, improvements are possible.

GAZ has just the thing for Tasmin owners to give the car the suspension it always deserved. GAZ uprated dampers with an adjustable ride height platform allow the front to be lowered for a better centre of gravity and improve the car’s wedge-like aerodynamics. Uprated springs and adjustable damper rates also improve road holding and response. At the rear, adjustable bump and rebound dampers and shorter, uprated, springs complete the upgrade package.

GAZ can provide kits for the Tasmin 280/1, 390/1, 420SE and the 420 SEAC. Part numbers and prices vary according to model so contact your GAZ dealer for details and prices.

When it was launched in 1977 the front engined, V8 powered Porsche 928 was way ahead of its time with features like a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, innovative use of materials such as aluminium and polyurethane and a high level of luxury features as standard. Nowadays the 928 may seem a little dated but at least owners can update the suspension with a GAZ fully adjustable GHA Coilover Kit.

GAZ fully adjustable GHA dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

GAZ GHA dampers feature a gas cell
fitted in the outer reservoir to prevent cavitation and resist fade and the ride height is easily adjustable on the car by means of movable spring platforms.

GAZ GHA dampers are suitable for both road and competition use and all units are individually tested before leaving the factory for added peace of mind.

The compete GAZ GHA Coilover Kit for the Porsche 928 can be ordered as GHA513 aad retails at £794.64 + VAT.
