Luke Beaumont Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Has anyone got an opinion to offer on GAZ shocks? I'm considering a set for the tintop, though you can get them in Caterham sizes I believe. Certainly plenty of locost style cars have them. With a name like GAZ you might expect them to be gas shocks but is that the case or just coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaseb Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Don't know huge amounts about them except they're made by a chap who suppiles/used to supply Spax with the majority of their machined components?! I would imagine the name "Gaz" is a coincidence as the chap's name is Brian Gazzard, I think they should have been called "Brians" myself... I believe they're a bit hard for 7's but imagine they'd be fine for a tin top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE GILBERT Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 IIRC Burtons are the offical distributor. HTH Steve See My Zetec Power 7 Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdg Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I bought a pair a couple of years ago and wish I hadn't wasted my money. They were (IN MY OPINION) total crap. I gave them away... I must stress that this is only my opinion, and other users may think that they're very good! But; in the world of sports/competition dampers you definitely get what you pay for. Ask Ammo... Chris.

Luke Beaumont Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 Yeah, it's Burton's catalogue that I've been perusing. Appreciate the whole value thing, but I just want something cheap for my Sierra. GAZ come in at about the cheapest (bearing in mind I want shocks only, no springs) but still not exactly wallet friendly. I've found the XR Owner's Club forum and folk there reckon Proven Products do some good tackle, so I'll give them a try in the morning. Thanks chaps.

STEVE GILBERT Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Why not go to a local factors and get something like Monroe Gasmatics? I had 4 struts on a mk3 escort once for about £100! Chris will get you trade if its a problem Luke, ask him over a nice roast dinner 😬 HTH Steve See My Zetec Power 7 Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
