The MG ZR can make quite an exciting track day car and, with that in mind, GAZ is producing Gold Coilover Suspension for this model.
The system may also be useful for kit cars based on the ZR that are becoming popular. However,it would be wise to check with the particular kit manufacturers for suitability.
The Gaz Gold units are both height and damper rate adjustable. Ride height is adjustable through 80mm of adjustment.
The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and the damper units are black zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.
Damper rates are 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 or trackday conditions.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
GAZ Gold Race Coilover Kits for MG ZR retail at £1,064.26 + VAT per kit.
GAZ can also produce this kit with ‘road use’ valving if required.
