Owners of classic Mk1 or Mk2 Lotus Cortinas are in quite a fortunate position when it comes to uprated suspension. Not only can GAZ offer bump/rebound adjustable rear dampers for these cars they can also rebuild the front struts to suit the intended use of the car.
GAZ dampers enable the damping rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.
GAZ can set the dampers and struts up with valving for general road use and they will also be suitable for the occasional track slalom and sprint use; alternatively, they can be set up for serious racing use if you so wish.
The rear dampers feature a zinc plated body for longevity and a plastic cover to protect the body from mud, stones and dirt.
All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
GAZ can produce rear dampers to order for 1964-1970 Lotus Cortinas as part number GT7-2057 at £64.08 each plus VAT. Front struts can be rebuilt for road or race use. Price according to owner’s requirements.
GAZ can produce custom made dampers for many other rare classics by working from either the original specifications or the original dampers. Price is dependent on application.
