I've finaly purchased what I hope will transform my cars handling. GAZ shocks. I intend to fit them on the car and bed them in for a couple of hundred miles before getting the geometry set up. Can someone tell me what setting they should be on at this stage? CRAIG

Shouldn't need "bedding in" (stand to be corrected there). But once your have set the ride height and set the damping to Dereks recomendations, I'd get the car to your nearest specialist for corner weighting straight away.

I wouldn't do many miles before having the geo set up because you may be running a risk of scrubbing tyres off quite quickly.

I had mine set within 50 miles, what a difference, in fact the difference before and after the geo set-up was amazing.

I agree, I had my geo done by Derek and couldnt believe the improvement it made.

Topcats in Aylesbury probably aren't that far from you, they did my geo and corner weighting, absolutely spot on. They did it at the time they fitted the (Gaz) shocks, which Derek had delivered to them. So no bedding in at all.

Hi,

I'm looking into buying GAZ shocks for my 4.3.

Where did you get yours from?
