The Vauxhall Magnum which first appeared in 1973 was basically an HC Viva with a larger engine, more luxurious interior, higher trim level and four, rather than two, headlights. It shared its suspension with the larger-engined variants of the Vauxhall Viva and Firenza although there was obviously room for improvement because the famous HPF ‘Droopsnoot’ Firenza, which followed in1974, was treated to a lowered and uprated suspension package at the factory.

Nowadays, Magnum owners have the option of fitting GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers to 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 can set the dampers 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.

GAZ GT dampers feature a zinc plated body and have a protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.

All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty

GAZ adjustable dampers for the Vauxhall Magnum retail at £57.78 each plus VAT.
Order as GT6-4696 for front and GT6-4697 for the rear.

With electric cars fast becoming accepted it was only a matter of time before the performance aftermarket turned its attention to them. GAZ is proud to be one of the first manufacturers to offer an upgrade for an electric car in the shape of a full house
GAZ Gold fully adjustable coilover suspension kit for the Renault Zoe.

This is one electric car that won’t handle like a milk float because the ride height is selectable through 60mm of adjustment for an improved centre of gravity, whilst 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.

Heavy batteries mean that electric cars have different handling characteristics to regular cars so the GAZ kit allows damper rates to be varied 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 reduce fade under extreme use. All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory for extra peace of mind.

The kit for the Zoe retails at just £965.31 + carriage & VAT and can be ordered as part number GGA221.

The latest creation to emerge from the GAZ factory is the new GAZ Gold fully adjustable suspension kit for the Vauxhall/Opel Corsa D.

The specification for this little track-day favourite is just like any other GAZ Gold kit; 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 reduce fade under racing and trackday conditions.

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory for extra peace of mind.

The GAZ Gold Coilover Kit for the Vauxhall/Opel Corsa D can be ordered as part number GGA512 and retails at £965.31 + carriage and VAT.

The Viton coating is heat resistant to 25000C.
