anyone??

i always set mine at 3/4 front, 1/2 rear. run it for a week or so then adjust accordingly for balance and ride comfort

[watto1minis]

thanks for the reply.
has anyone else got any others setups differently to above?

[Prawn]

it really depends on the weight of your car and what your main use is really mate....

When I used mine dailly I used to run about 20 clicks front and 16 rear, which on a 36 point setup is roughly the same as Darkscamp said

[Mini_Magic]

I had mine on the softest setting, for comfort as it was a daily driver.

Well fitted one side of the rear shocks, and hi and low, all is good apart from when i home, it was set to 16 clicks, because everyone says this is good setting.

but i found this way to hard bounce all over the place, so set it to fully soft and it is much better, do i leave them at fully soft, or do i have to wait a week and run them at 16.


What do gaz shocks adjust to 36 point 28 point ?? I did one shock and i counted 40 clicks then on another 36

Doing the other side tomorrow. dreaded fuel tank lol.

Well today fitted the other side, and front dampers as well, and omg the handling is so much better, lowered the rear as well

[Darkscamp]

have you decided what settings your going for?

on a personal note i would always go a little stiffer on the front than the rear.

[reffle]

I'm getting these next week as my current shocks seem to have given up (not that they did much in the first place ) Think I'll try the softest for daily driving. I understand that I'll need to drain the fuel tank though!

[robtheplod]

I've got GAZ adjustables on both front and rear and have all on as soft as they will go. We did try other settings, but got trapped in a kangaroo trip up one road that had regular marks on the road!! (great fun but felt sick after a few minutes).

[T.Harper]

I literally messed around with them for a week then put them on softest because it's my daily drive.

Well i think they are way to stiff at the moment, so i think i will put them at there softest setting, because it is my daily drive, but not sure i should yet, maybe give it a week, to see if things improve.

Yes i will put the front shocks sightly stiffer at the front

They are so much better mate, well worth the moeny, only fitted them yesterday,

i did not drain my tank, because it was below half fall, i was amazed how flexible the fuel pipes were. I just moved it into the middle of my boot.
