Hi guys, ive found some GAZ adjustable rate shocks, but the company dont supply the springs with them for some strange reason. The shocks are designed to be used with -40mm springs. Does anyone know if these would work ok with -60mm springs? I am thinking along the lines that the shocks are already shorter than standard units so will probably be ok with the slightly shorter springs? Also before i have used standard shocks with lowered springs with no trouble??? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I'd stay well away from GAZ shocks personally. The only merit they can boast is that they are cheap. They aren't very good shocks at all. I would spend the money and get some decent shocks if your upgrading them.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Gaz as in the same company that do the full coilovers f+r, recent gb? I thought they were pretty good

I think they are excellent and have them with eibach springs (-30mm) ..email the factory and ask..they seem very helpful..and they don't make springs ..just shocks that's why they don't supply them!

Your experience might help to justify the above tell us!

Yup, I've looked at these too, I'd like to see some opinions either way... thanks
