Just because a car hasn’t been around for a few yearsdoesn’t give a company like GAZ a reason not to make suspension for it. The Volvo Amazon is a good example; not only does GAZ offer GT dampers for the saloon model. They also offer adjustable dampers for the considerably rarer Estate version!
GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. Adjustment can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.
GAZ can set the dampers up with valving for general road use, but 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 two year warranty

Over the years it has become apparent that the fitment of 45DCOE carburettors to certain newer types of engine (such as Ford Zetec and Duratec) will result in a flat spot just off idle that no amount of calibration will eradicate.
Webcon have studied this characteristic in detail and have developed a very specific procedure to modify 3 or 4 progression hole models to 5 progression holes. This delivers the precise extra amount of mixture in the progression phase to overcome this flat spot resulting in a smoother more progressive transition from idle to main.
Burton Power is pleased to announce it now has stocks of these modified carburettors.
Order a complete kit as part number WEB17900.258 at £1,165.00 inc. VAT.
The kit includes two carburettors jetted for a standard 2.0 litre Zetec E/Duratec HE I4.
Includes balance linkage and a banjo T.
