hagarep Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Does anyone have nay feedback on Gaz rear shock absorbers? Was thinking of ordering a pair of yellow Sports from Matt to go with my 26mm T bars, then noticed the price of the Gaz adjustables and the proximity of their shop to my office. I'm sure I remember Richard (RB) saying he tried some several years back? Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP72 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Nope, built is there much saving over Boges or Billies? KYB do some too, IIRC - has these on fitted to my old Lexus, made in Japan, top quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagarep Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Looks like £75.03+VAT per shock, in the 2020 catalogue. Seems too cheap to be good? Will give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagarep Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Price confirmed, plus I can get less 25% through my Limited Company. Total £157.56 for the pair. 5 week lead time to manufacture. Still need to find some feedback first, as they don't seem popular on 911's. Edited May 15, 2020 by hagarep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybee Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Think Pete Leeson at Centre Gravity uses Gaz shocks on his 944. Give him a buzz maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewaysfun Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Personal feedback from GAZ is good, not based on 911 though i'm afraid. Mate has GAZ coilovers on his track Elise S1, which handle great. Their customer service is also excellent. He sent them off for refurb, they didn't deem them salvageable and offered him new replacements for an extremely competitive price. Also, we have just purchased a set of GAZ supercups for our track car. I didn't even realise they did shocks for 911s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestershire Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I run these on the rear of my SC - standard front TB's with Sport green shocks & 26mm rear TB's. Always found them to be very good. The basic compression adjustment is fine for track days and allows you to make changes to suit temperature and track conditions. Mine have spherical bearings in the lower links. If you are contemplating any historic motorsport events then you would need to request standard metalastic bushes. The gold zinc finish is not particularly durable and would certainly not survive many UK winters but Gaz offer a full rebuild and service facility so refinishing shouldn't be a problem.

hagarep Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 That’s good enough for me to try them at that price. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
