Gaz Twin Adjustable Coilover Kits
Two Twin Adjustable ranges are offered. The Gaz Twin Adjustable and the Gaz Gold twin adjustable. The Gaz Twin Adjustable is aimed at the road car and occasional track day driver. These kits are based on the Gaz GHA kits but offer separate bump and rebound damping both front and rear adjusted via two adjuster knobs per damper.
The Gaz GOLD Twin Adjustable is aimed at the serious track day, circuit racing, drift, drag and rally (tarmac and gravel) drivers. These kits are based on the Gaz GOLD kits but offer separate bump and rebound damping at the front via two adjuster knobs per damper, one on the base and one on an external cannister. The external canisters give an increase in oil capacity further improving performance over the GOLD dampers. These kits have optional twin adjustable rear set ups.
We explain the benefits of twin adjustable dampers further down the page.
In Summary:
Gaz Twin Adjustable
- For fast road, serious track days and motorsport
- Custom spring rates and damper valving tailored to your cars specification and use
- For cars with road or semi slick tyres
- Based on GHA damper bodies but fitted with the Gaz GOLD motorsport performance damper valving system
- Can accommodate higher spring rates than GHA but not as high as GOLD kits
- Separates bump and rebound damping front and rear using two adjusters per damper (not external canisters). Front rebound = top adjuster, front compression - adjuster on very bottom of damper case. Rear = two adjusters on damper side at the base.
Gaz GOLD Twin Adjustable
- For dedicated track day cars and tarmac based motorsport
- Custom spring rates and damper valving tailored to your cars specification and use
- For cars using semi or full slick tyres
- Based on GOLD damper bodies
- Motorsport performance damper valving system
- Front dampers are upgraded to twin adjustable using external canisters
- Separates bump and rebound damping at the front via external canisters - one adjuster on the damper body, one on the canister. Front rebound adjuster = top of cannister, front compression - adjuster on damper side at the base. Rear = two adjusters on damper side at the base.
- The canisters give a further increase in oil capacity further improving performance
- Option to upgrade rear dampers to twin adjustable via canister or twin adjusters on the damper
Benefits of Twin Adjustable Dampers
When braking hard whilst approaching a corner you want the car to transfer weight to the front tyres to maximise grip for the braking effort and also to allow you to trail brake into the corner without the car understeering.
As you start to lift off the brakes on corner entry you don’t want the suspension to snap back up too quickly as this will remove the loading from the front tyres too quickly and lead to understeer. As soon as the car starts to understeer you need to wind off the steering lock to reduce the work effort applied to the tyres to allow them to regain traction. This slows the vehicles ultimate speed.
The compression damping adjustment allows you to fine tune the way the car rolls onto its front tyres during braking and the separate rebound adjustment allows you to fine tune the way the car responds as you come off the brakes to enter the corner proper and keep the front end hooked up. This allows you to get back on the power sooner and maximise corner exit speed. Corner exit speed is vital because this determines you maximum speed achieved down the next straight.
