There is also the option of rear height adjustable coilovers &#8211; as shown &#8211; which can be fitted if the customer turrets the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coilovers have a coarse acme form thread for ease of height adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damping rates are variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper bodies. The GAZ Gold range is designed primarily for out-and-out racing; each comes with a reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to reduce fade and a gas cell to prevent cavitation under harsh racing and trackday conditions. Springs can be supplied to the customer\u2019s specifications according to the vehicle\u2019s intended use with softer spring rates available for road use..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GAZ\u2008Gold coilover kit for the Vauxhall\/Opel Astra Mk3\/E can be ordered as part number GGA443 at \u00a31013.58 plus VAT. (Donor front hubs are required for the conversion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further details visit the GAZ website: www.gazshocks.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vauxhall Astra Mk3 was a popular car through most of the Nineties but later Sport and GSi models (from 1995 onwards) were fitted with Lotus Sprung Suspension indicating that the standard suspension could be improved upon.
