Gaz monos - settle in?

[brett84]

Hey All

To the people with Gaz monos, or any suspension really - same question applies.
Do they settle, as in do the get lower once driven on?
Mine hasn't moved since I've fitted them but the front is sitting high, even at the lowest setting (springs uncompressed as much as possible). The rear is ok, about 3 fingers in the space between wheel arch. The front is about 4 or 5 fingers high

[brett84]

yeah they are the right way round I made sure when fitting

I thought compressing the springs raises the ride height?

I'll give Derek a call tomorrow.
One step forward - two back with this bloody car.
The brakes don't fit with the wheels i've got some time to get some image ones made, just means waiting ages for them to arrive

Brett, I can lend you a set of 17 inch wheels with reasonable road tyres to get you mobile if it will help.
Just let me know. You can compare your GGPs with mine ifit will help. Just let me know.

Thanks mate, thats what I love about this place.
I might take you up on that if tomorrows plan doesn't work

[brett84]

If you don't mind measuring them that would be great so I can compare and check.
If I can't get the wheels/brakes sorted tomorrow i'll take you up on that but i don't mind driving over, i've got a few other cars I can use, mine and the families.
I'm wondering if maybe there are different height/length springs and these might be an inch too long?

This photo was before I adjusted them as low as possible but it's only a bit lower than this now

[brett84]

spoke to Derek today, seems they may have been supplied with the wrong length springs, says to send them back and he'll exchange them for me.

[brett84]

measured the fronts and they are 8inch springs, although can't find any information online about what they should be

[brett84]

thanks for your help on this today Anthony

Turns out I have the wrong springs, 8inch on front and rear when the front should be 7inch.
The dampers are correct though, about 14inch front and 15.5inch rear
