Bought it some Gaz Golds today

[Alan461]

As per title, went for it today after looking at previous threads.
Using the Corby people, seemed very helpfull.
This is the first expenditure having bought it (s2) six weeks ago.
Having never driven one before I'm not sure how it's supposed to feel
but the originals have 67k on them and it bangs a bit on potholes.
Any info on fitting? Looks straight forward to me..

Check out the "suspension wiki" at top of Forum for some setting up suggestions.

Hopefully the two bolts holding each of them on come out ok, then plenty of "Coppaslip" to ensure they do if when there's a next time

In a rare moment of clarity I have realized all the people on the wiki refering to GG Pro are actually talking about said item.
Duffer cred much increased..

Welcome Alan , a good Choice for the , S , totally transformed the handling for me ....
Also while your down there fiddling , a good idea to renew the bushes as well ..

Changing the springs & shocks is easy- peasy.
Changing the wishbone & a/roll bar bushes is a bit more of a struggle, but well worth the effort. I fitted Supaflex polyurethane, & Gaz shocks & springs, & I'm delighted with the way Austin now handles.

Best upgrade you can do for the money IMHO.

Which spring rates have you opted for?
Mine are 450 front, 375 rear, which feel pretty much spot on to me.
I'm very pleased & so looking forward to the Alps on Sunday!

Thanks Kie, Hi Glen, I'll do the wishbones etc in the winter, it's all got to come off to get cleaned and painted.
I've left the settings up to the supplier, could have specified but it's not as if I know what the difference is (yet)
Couldn't get organized for the eurotour, haven't had the car long enough, wish I was going now.
