Default GAZ Suspension Kit

Does anyone have any experience with GAZ suspension kits. I saw "Wheeler Dealers" outfit a 944T on You Tube and it seemed like nice stuff reasonably priced.

I think GAZ was one of the people CPR was looking into a while ago.

All depends on price and what you expect from them, I considered them but went for KW's in the end, I think there was some issues with surface rust when used all year round but this may have been sorted by now.

The design is a direct ‘copy’ of the Leda layout, in fact as I understand it one of the guys from Leda went to work at GAZ when Leda was in out of business for a while.

Yes, thats right

I got a GAZ Gold kit on my 951, with custom springs. They a great value for money, tidy side-**** to set the bump/rebound, and an easy fit to the car.

Had 2 trackdays with them and very pleased. I would recomend them eyes closed.

aprox 800 pounds, in an ebay shop called "gaz outlet" or similar. They are Gaz themselves so no problem with the product.
