GAZ is well know for its involvement with BMW race series and the quality of its competition proven products for BMWs. Now the company can offer complete GAZ Gold fully adjustable, coilover suspension kits for the BMW E92 3 series.
Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment and the damper units are fitted with anodised adjusters for long life. The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.
Damper rates are also variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper body. The GAZ Gold range comes with a gas cell in the reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to prevent cavitation and to reduce fade under racing and trackday conditions.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty.
GAZ Gold Coilover Kits for BMW E92 3 series retail at £965.31 plus. VAT per kit.

DEI has been making exhaust wrap for more years than most of us care to remember, but their latest version comes with a bit of a twist – well, weave really. The exhaust wrap features a black carbon fibre look to the weave which makes it great for motorcycles, rods and kit cars where the exhaust is more prominent – or just to enliven the look of your engine bay.
Cobra Sport, AmD’s racing partners, has recently introduced a unique downpipe for the Mercedes-AMG A45; this addresses the original restrictive front end of the exhaust system and releases a further 5bhp of power. However the new downpipe requires a remap to operate to its full potential.
Aeroflow Oil Filters were originally designed for racers in such a way as to incorporate all the latest technology in order to provide fine filtration with minimal restriction so that the engine performs at its best with great protection.
Schrader, the world leader in tyre pressure monitoring systems in the original equipment automotive sector, recently launched its first product of this type for use on a bicycle.
The journey is the destination – this saying does not apply to any sector as well as it does to motorhome tourism. Spartan box cars have mostly given way to rolling hotel rooms which make the journey itself into an experience. “A comfortable suspension has truly become a key factor here”, explains Ron William Kiesewetter from BILSTEIN. Besides passenger vehicles, the renowned German suspension manufacturer also develops shock absorber systems for vans, which also serve as the basis for mobile homes. A real milestone in this area is the cooperation with German Goldschmitt techmobil GmbH, which also builds complete air suspension systems for these vehicles. BILSTEIN has already been delivering the right shock absorbers for several years. Right from the beginning the company from Ennepetal was predestined for Goldschmitt because of its experience in the field of air suspension systems, both in OE as well as in replacement.
The VW Golf VII facelift was launched at the end of 2016, as well as numerous technical improvements, it defends its position with confidence – regardless of the role. To make sure that the Golf VII always stays on the road to success, BILSTEIN delivers exactly the right suspension components for the compact car – regardless of whether it is for replacement parts, improved spare parts, a sporty feel or a snappy lowering. The shock absorbers BILSTEIN B4, B6, B8, and the suspension B12 Pro Kit, B14 and B16 are available for both the more powerful models with a rear twist beam axle as well as the stronger multi-link variants.
With its comprehensive shock absorber and suspension programme, BILSTEIN offers the right solution for virtually any specific application. However, sometimes the requirements of the tuning and racing industry are simply too specialised to keep an off-the-shelf solution ready for every request. On these occasions, when many others would just make do with what they already have, BILSTEIN’s Department for Special Customer Requests (KSW) in Ennepetal, Germany, springs into action. Together with the US company GTWORX, a subsidiary of Racecomp Engineering, they created an extraordinary cup suspension for the Subaru WRX/STI and BRZ models. Recently launched in the US and based on the BILSTEIN B14 coilover system, it is specially designed for hobby racers, who want to drive their vehicles on and off the track. Linear springs are applied to auxiliary springs and degressive mono-tube Upside-Down shock absorbers. The latter initially react “sharply” due to their design and then soften with increasing force, in order to achieve optimum driving behaviour and adequate comfort at rest.
