Kit Configuration
In this kit the front is full coilover. The rear is separate spring and damper. The rear damper is adjustable for stiffness and the rear spring lowers the car by 50mm at the rear.
The kit can be built for cars up to 20/21 with the early top mounts or from 2021 with the later top mounts. Please choose the correct kit as the front damper rods are different in the kit built for the later top mounts
This kit allows you to adjust height at the front (the rear is a fixed lowered spring) and damping at all four corners of the car. This solves a number of problems that fast road and track day drivers often run into as follows such as understeer, oversteer, lack of grip. The kit is also supplied with the correct spring rates, damper valving and ride height range (see Custom Build Specs section below).
Please note: Images are generic and depict the Gaz Twin Adjustable range and kit configuration for this listing but may not show the exact kit you purchase.
Adjustable Height
For fast road and track day cars, this allows you to lower the car, lowering the centre of gravity and reducing body roll which increases mechanical grip. You will also be able to adjust the height at one end relative to the other. This is especially useful for front wheel drive cars where you might want to run the rear ride height higher than the front to reduce understeer.
Twin Adjustable Damping
For fast road, track day and race cars, adjustable damping allows you to stiffen the cars suspension further reducing body roll to further increase mechanical grip. You will also be able to adjust the damping at one end relative to the other. This is especially useful for front wheel drive cars where you might want to stiffen the rear damping to reduce understeer as stiffening the rear or softening the front pushes weight onto the front wheels increasing grip.
This kit goes even further than that being twin adjustable. This feature separates the bump and rebound damping adjustability at the front and rear allowing you to dial the car in to your exact needs. Consider during braking for a corner. As the cars nose dips, weight is transferred to the front tyres which maximises the grip for the braking effort. As you lift off the brakes to turn in, you dont want the suspension to snap back too quickly, as this will unload the weight on the front of the car, reducing front grip and introducing understeer. Adjusting the rebound damping to slow it down allows the suspension to return to normal height less quickly, ensuring grip is maintained at the front, reducing understeer and ensuring a faster corner exit speed and a quicker lap time!
The damper valving fitted to the Gaz Twin Adjustable dampers are designed to withstand the high side loadings of semi slick tyres making them ideal for fast road and dedicated track days cars.
Front McPherson struts are top adjustable for rebound with a side adjuster on the base of the damper for compression. Non McPherson fronts dampers and most rear dampers have two adjusters on the base of the damper to adjust rebound and compression damping.
