    GAZ Gold 'short' front legs

    Has anyone used these?

    Am thinking of buying a set, just wondering how 'short' they are?

    Also any advice on where from, can see them from Motorsport Tools, but they seem to have more and more of a markup on parts these days...

    Cheers

    Hi Dave, were these the short legs?

    If so do you mind me asking how low and how much?

    Mine are their tarmac spec coilovers and they would virtually sit it on its belly!
    I'm using 15" wheels and running it so low I've had to run my exhaust in a tunnel to stop it dragging over speed bumps and still got an inch or more of adjustment.
    As for price, I can't remember as it was 5yrs ago.
    Good luck.

    Thanks Dave, sounds exactly what I am looking for.

    My car like yours will be dragging rails, so am planning on fitting air cups to give me 50mm lift and am already running an exhaust tunnel

    To try and give you some sort of reference, I've just been and had a look and with the tcas level there is still enough thread on the strut to drop it another 50mm.
