Hi Guys,

I need to replace my front shocks as they are not doing anything and what with awful torque steer these are the first things to I need to change.

I am looking at these http://www.minisport.com/gazgta231b12-gaz-...front-each.html

but have noticed they also come in a lowered version. Now my car is a bit lower than standard but not on the floor. How low does the car need to be warrant buying the lowered type? Any ideas

I think they are an inch shorter or there abouts. I'd buy lowered. Info is probably avaliable from GAZ.

Wouldn't fit gaz personally, poor quality. Take a look at Protech shocks

I used lowered gaz dampers. Thought they were better than standard.
I now use protech all round and there fantastic.

Huddersfield tend to be the cheapest place to get them from.

Much cheaper than direct.

A set of front mini coil overs on there site came to over £200 (just dampers).
Whereas Huddersfield only charged £168.
